If it doesn’t come entirely encased in pastry, then it isn’t a pie, it’s a bloody casserole with a hat!
Pubs that serve “pies” and then give you slop with a square of pastry that clearly wasn’t even in contact with the slop before it hit the plate should be turned into Costa coffee shops for their crimes.
(Shepherd’s pie and cottage pie are so named for historical honorary reasons, and may continue to be so.)

What about pumpkin pie?
No, that’s a tart. Sorry.
I’d be pretty upset if you served me a slice of pumpkin pie and it tasted tart!
True, but it’s just semantics. You know what you’re getting whatever the word is.
100% agree. Pot pies are not pies.
