To me...

Water means H2O. It can be solid water (which we happen to have a special name for -- unlike most substances) liquid water or gaseous water. It's still water.

Might as well complain about calling the Iron spectra that we see in stars "iron". Rather than some term for gasseous/plasmatic iron that I've never heard of.
