The issue here is that veganism is regarded as a diet by the popular culture and fad dieters, not vegans. Your insistance that we not try to correct the record is like asking middle easterners not to set things straight when people assume all of them are Arabians or Muslim.
Veganism is regarded as a diet by vegans. The diet kind of vegans. You're doing a No True Scotsman.
You can certainly try to fight language. It doesn't usually work. Good luck!
It is most commonly discussed in terms of diet, because that is something that is encountered most frequently. How often do you eat compared to how often you buy new shoes? A few times per day vs a few times per year?
Veganism most definitely goes beyond diet, even if food is by far the most common context .
It can, sure. It's also a convenient way to tell the waitress you don't eat animal products, even if you do wear leather.
