You're arguing that the majority of people use the term differently than you and are therefore wrong. Sounds like the definition of technobabble to me.

I think that tech has this extreme, albeit well-earn, revulsion to hype that makes them reject things based on terminology and community over actually understanding the thing.

I see it all the time. It's simply wrong to say that microservices is just "services". Many people being wrong changes nothing.
