I understand. I have some degree of familiarity with the source material.

It's just a useless classification scheme to apply to anything outside of describing Noble Phantasms, when there's perfectly understandable terminology to use outside of it, which, as we just witnessed, occasionally contradicts it.

"Anti-Army" tells me nothing, because it tells me nothing about what it is effective against. Is it appropriate to deploy against a modern armored division, or just infantry? What if they've got NBC protection? Does it rely on soldiers massed in formation, or can it be deployed against an army using modern tactics? What effects does the weapon have on the environment? Suppose the army was a futuristic armored division? What if they've got energy shields? What if they've got mages? What if the entire army is air-mobile? Suppose the army deals on an entirely different energy economy, like in SupCom, where battles routinely throw around energy by the kiloton, with appropriate survivability?
