But it no longer defines necromantic magic as more than just 'raise undead'. Even though users could derive other value from it as well:

If someone is ressurected the unliving flesh becomes living flesh. So it's... animated living flesh, which is a perfectly regular phenomenom. In a ressurection there's zero animation of unliving flesh. An undead moves besides being dead - that's the fucked up magic part.
Sin'dane straight out says "animating unliving flesh" because unliving is different than living. She could've said "animate flesh" but she didn't.
Words have meanings.
There is an entirely different problem with Sin'danes little statement, since flesh does not really exist in the shadowlands, necromancy should be different in the realm of the living, since the material they manipulate is fundamentally different, one is a soul and anima, the other is dead flesh.
Almost all of it is anima and souls, take Kyrian for example they are not beings of flesh,yet the necrolords still gather their corpses and use them. Using the same brand of necromancy for those in the plane of the living and those in the shadowlands just doesn't make sense.
So Druids and Shamans are necromancers too? Or Necromancy should only entail rising and control?
Yes, but it's still flesh. It bleeds, has muscles, nerves, fat, etc. For all intents and purposes it behaves like regular flesh. "It's anima!" potentially, or the Anima creates the flesh. In both case, the result is flesh.

Necromancy entails animating unliving flesh. If the flesh becomes living like it was, it obviously stops being necromancy.
Maldraxus and necromancy is the real issue due to the way the shadowlands are said to work.
Everyone losing their minds over different types of magic having necromancy should be more mad at Chronicle for trying to shoehorn the distinct magic sources onto a universe thats been mixing magic since forever. Necromancy before doing by those who practice other magic types is far from new.
Its the same issue with Arcane being made a power of 'order' but its shown to be (and described to be in older sources) very chaotic on its own.
Them being correct from their point of view doesn't really matter, everyone is correct from their point of view. Objectively, in this case, the Titans were wrong. In both the cosmological chart and in their written accounts of the cosmic forces they tightly couple "types" of magic (i.e.: fel, nature, necromancy) with their respective cosmic force (i.e.: disorder, life, death). We know this is no longer canon in at least respect to necromancy, and it is possible that this may also be the case for other types of magic. The cosmological chart in Grimoire of the Shadowlands even explicitly removes all association between magic and its source.
Sylvanas didn't even win the popular vote, she was elected by an indirect election of representatives. #NotMyWarchief
