Or maybe it's that you don't really know what you're talking about. People have been using the term in this way for quite a while, and it isn't specific to crypto. It also comports just fine with the dictionary definition. So it seems to me that it's you who's definition is idiosyncratic. But the meanings of words are beside the point. Sovereignty in this sense is a property crypto has that other financial assets do not, whatever word you want to use for it.
