It is hard to be exactly sure of what is what. I have seen more than just slang call two wheel self balance devices as segways. With the current owners, the name 'Segway' has far less specific definition.
Those of us who came to the debate long ago know exactly what we mean by 'Segway' but those who have come recently have a very different impression. Remember, Segway Inc sued Ninebot for infringement on the name and technology, and Ninebot bought the company, and therefore they own the name.

The surely are generically called segways. Falls into the Kleenex or wiffle ball category.
I do agree that those small hoverboards are frequently called segways, on that point you are exactly right. My only thought was that what exactly is and is not a segway is not at all the same as it was 5 years ago, when there were segways and there were copies and other things. Now, the copies and some of the other things own the name.
