Personally, I often find myself saying things like "the <lang> ecosystem" to avoid this. I think it is fair to have a discussion about terminology and arguing with the actual meaning of terms. When there is a technical difference, it would be good to acknowledge that difference between terms. It does not hurt anyone to do that. One can still say something like: "When we communicate I will use the word x for meaning y, because it is shorter and more convenient."
