They should have called it oat-non-milk. Shorter than someone here proposed. They should also stop calling American cheese that, because it is not cheese! And the few non-milk cheese I tried tasted horrible!
Agreed, words mean things. Margarine isn't butter, milk only comes from mammals, Caro isn't coffee, etc. But marketers will market.
Being open with my bias, I started my career running a small dairy distribution company. It's been 20 years since I left that job, but I still have milk in veins. As for American "cheese," it does start life as cheese, the operative word is "processed". Meaning it is to cheese what mushy canned green beans are to lightly steamed green beans. It's consistent and melts smoothly, but it looks like plastic, has the mouthfeel of glue and tastes like what I imagine Elmer's glue does.
If I read the article correctly, it's not even really about them calling it oat milk. It's about trademarking some phrase that has the word milk in it. The whole thing seems dumb.
I tried a few of these not-milk milks. I think the oat milk was the only drinkable, but when I read the label, I still poured it away. Having a latent cow milk allergy is not fun, but at least, I can eat plenty of yoghourt and a bit of cheese, which I love.
Not milk by any other name is still not milk.

Could not have described that fake cheese better!
Simply add the letter G and you have a wonderful substance.
I’d try this before I’d touch oat milk
I use goat milk every day, acquired from a neighbor's farm. Taste-wise it's indistinguishable from cow's milk. But I can get this raw!
While you're at it, grab me a Liebfraumilch.
EDIT: I guess IYKYK
haha! now that is a good substitute. I will go for that.

Did you ever hear an oat, “Moo” ?
Love the logic
to be fair, some humans are trying to make cheese from «oat milk», but this activity seems to be mostly confined to Reddit and a few vegan blogs.

Oat milk sounds like it should taste like paste
Oatmeal is wonderful. Raw milk is near boiled, the out meal then added. Real maple syrup, a bit of proper butter, yes plz.
Oat milk? No that’s not real.
Goat cheese from Kauai is heavenly.
"Oaty Milk-Like Substance" must be the new label.
