It's also interesting the in English we also have Drafters or draughtsman/draughtswoman, who's job is drafting, which is the process of creating technical drawings for manufacture.[1]

In a highly technical environment this is the kind of work I associate with drafting, but not necessarily with the word draft.

The wikipedia page for "Draft" has a veritable smorgasbord of different things that are considered "Drafts"[2], which kind of illustrates that getting pedantic about the definition of the word is losing proposition.

But a native english speakers as well, I agree with you, that the everyday colloquial definition of the word "draft" is an incomplete piece of work that needs further refinement before it can be considered complete or final.

But in the days of digital files, unlike the days of typewriters that put ink on paper, it's much easier to edit a draft into the final product.
