I don't disagree with your original point that marketing is likely the key driver here.

However, I don't think your second point really stands up when considering 'kinds' and classification of things.

jillesvangurp's response was that "micro-whatevers" are a profitized subset of the original definitions (e.g., they are saying a 'microfarm' is a profit-driven subset of 'home vegetable gardens'. You then say that people can and do make money from their gardens, thus arguing that microfarms are not a thing?

The existence of profitable home vegetable gardens does not mean that they are not microfarm's in jillesvangurp's definition.
