Do you object against calling people "farmers" because their way of operating is not the same as how farmers operated 500 years ago?

“Farmer” doesn’t describe a way of operating, it describes a property relationship.

So, no, I wouldn’t object to using that label for the same property relationship even if it came with a different pattern of operation.
