Sure, but flying an airplane is much more of a binary thing. Everyone on on a given plane wants pretty the same thing out of the ride. Bitcoin, on the other hand, so many groups that each want different things from it, from every aspect of it. She could rightly conclude she's qualified under the demands of one of those groups, and so fair enough to her.

Yes, if the community cannot widely agree on what Bitcoin is (which seems to be the case), then she's not at fault and her employer is also not at fault. They just adopted the arbitrary data storage definition for Bitcoin so that's what they're optimizing for. This is basically the coordination tax I wrote about in my last article.
