It's cultural anthropology's main subject. Largely I agree with your sentiment, but realistically nomenclature is a product of a conversation within a social group.

Every profession ends up doing so. It's how we get slang and so on.

Awareness of that reality is a survival skill. It's in that light I posited the original question, to suss how people define and reason with certain concepts.
