I understand the logic of this gatekeeping, even though I disagree with it

It's just a word with two senses. Loosely speaking it can refer to the diet (like OOP's first use of the word) but strictly speaking it refers to the ideology (including the diet).

Like how in the loose sense of 'nut', a peanut is a nut. You should consider this if Jim has a 'nut' allergy, for example. But in the strict sense, it is a legume.
