I get your point and I'd genuinely apologize to every architect graduate (in the construction space) who feels insulted by that.
Even if my day-to-day follows the "software architect" definition, I would gladly replace it with something closer to the technical field if it wasn't polluted by the majority of people mislabeling themselves. Which is more or less the point of the post.
Don't call yourself an architect if you don't plan, design, and construct buildings.
That would be absurd of me to expect, clearly the meaning of the word "architect" has different meaning in different contexts, to different people, and in different fields of work. "Engineer" is another good example. If you have specific definitions, use them in your job postings so people know what you mean, but don't cry foul when people use a term in an accepted but different manner than you prefer.
