Full Self Driving Capability suggests that the car has Full Capability to drive itself.

That it does so as safely and legally as a human driver is implied by the word "full"

No, you should read that website, and perhaps try to buy a Tesla and see the materials. It says clearly that it's the hardware and that the software is not there yet.
That is a ludicrious distinction irrelevant to the end customer. I can't find that distinction on the website, mind sharing a link or screenshot?

Besides, how would you even establish that the hardware is self driving capable if the software isn't? You might need to change the hardware once you realise the software needs changes too?

Maybe you should read it again, because that's clearly not what it says. It lists several features which are available right now under the "full self-driving" moniker, and two which will arrive in the future. As it is right now, the system has more functions available than it is planned to have.
The screenshot I replied to says it exactly, near the bottom. It's not about number of bullet points, it's about what the bullet points say.

There is no "full self driving" button in a Tesla, and the Autopilot button will first produce a notice about the capabilities and it says you absolutely can not stop driving, you have to confirm it before it engages.
