Language changes over time and words don’t mean the same thing forever. The entire purpose of language is to communicate. So if you have a Mac and say you are a PC user, you are failing to use language well. Apple themselves helped facilitate that change. It can be less consistent with Linux on a PC, I agree. But language is an evolving meme (as per the original definition of meme, not the cat photos). And to not acknowledge that is like being a young earth creationist with language.
Do you also argue that anyone who is happy is part of the LGBT community?
But PC has not made this transition universaly which makes it a very ambigues word. It is still used a category of electronic devices regardless auf operating system. Also if you say PC = Windows PC and MAC = MacOS PC what is the overarching Category? and ? = Linux PC?
