Pilots still are required to be able to take over immediately for an autopilot system and are responsible and accountable for all those items you list and more.
Calling it autopilot is precisely what it is, calling it self driving would be false marketing.
We are talking about cars, not planes. Driven by regular people, not pilots.
It's a term chosen specifically to evoke a certain connotation among the majority of people, and you know it.
Autonomous driving is something entirely different in my mind. That would be a car good enough to work without driver controls or a remote operator. Nothing on the market meets this definition today.
Most people expect other things from something marketed as flying, but specialists know that this is exactly how most things fly. And lawyers know to read the fine print.
/s and argumentum ad absurdum, sorry for eristic tricks.
