https://www.dictionary.com/browse/milk

...

any liquid resembling the milk of animals, as the liquid within a coconut, the juice or sap of certain plants, or various pharmaceutical or cosmetic preparations: a gentle cleansing milk for your skin.

the milk of the rubber tree;

a gentle cleansing milk for your skin.

a whitish, potable liquid made of ground nuts, legumes, seeds, or grain blended with water and often a sweetener, used especially as a substitute for dairy milk, its main ingredient as specified: almond milk; rice milk.

nut milks;

almond milk;

oat milk;

rice milk.

Words have multiple meanings. Oat milk is just definitively milk - there's nothing to debate.

The folks who think it's exclusively boob juice are being willfully ignorant. It's like saying "rock" can't be a genre of music because that word is already taken by the hard things in the ground.
