Everything is caching. Almost nothing operates on the target data directly.

Do you think that's a useful definition of the term?

If everything is caching, why even introduce the term: language should help us describe ideas, it should not be superfluous.

Because you can operate directly on data

Caching is an abstraction, not an optimization
