Why would them being self-diagnosed matter? Why would you react to it having been “made a mockery of” by reinforcing this supposed mockery? It only makes it worse for people who have to deal with it.
Because the self diagnosis is largely made up by people who don't understand what PTSD even is. It's like someone declaring they have cancer without going to a doctor.

Because it's become part of the lexicon now. I don't think there's any going back. My usage was the "new" usage, no relation to PTSD was intended.
