Hampton Creek’s Entire Board Leaves Except for CEO

Given that Just Mayo looks like mayonnaise, tastes like mayonnaise and is substitutable for mayonnaise in every common use case, I don't see why you see this as an important difference. In programming terms, it duck-types as mayonnaise and conforms to the Mayonnaise interface. Forcing a different term because of an invisible quirk of manufacturing seems like splitting hairs.

Incidentally, the word "just" in their product names refers to the adjective related to "justice," not the term meaning "only." There is a note on the product explaining this.

(Edited to remove a comparison because I forgot people hate comparisons.)

The definition of mayonaisse explicitly includes the use of egg yolk.

The definition of egg does not include the color of its shell.

The definition of "washing machine" in 1800 would have mentioned hand-washing — are modern washing machines deceptive? The thing is, eggless mayo is readily identifiable as mayo, and even reputable food publications categorize it this way. I would posit that this definition of mayo based on the way it is traditionally made is flawed, as it fails to include things that are recognizably mayo.
