What you say here seems right. However, as I understand the authors' intent, the article is really targeting what practitioners are saying. Not to shame them, but to inform people outside the field who may be misled. Admittedly, some are misleading themselves, succumbing to the ELIZA effect, as happened with the Google employee claiming their LaMDA system is sentient.
