I think the argument here is not really where one should draw the line and whether transpiler should be a different word...
I think the argument centers on how transpilers are often justified as being something quite different in difficulty than writing a whole compiler -- and in practice, nearly the whole set of problems of writing a compiler show up.
So, it's more like, don't use the distinction to lie to yourself.
