There is also though a historical use of the word milk to refer to any liquid that has a milky look and feel. After all, Coconut milk has been called that for a very long term. Pretty sure it's been used for describing opium in the past. Maybe the noun milk should be considered as deriving from a description instead.
If so then it's actually historically consistent to refer to Soy milk as milk, even though it's not the same kind of milk as milk.
