I'm certainly not going to disagree with your personal experience. But the term "lich" applied specifically to a corpse decades before the term was adopted by RPGs. A "lichyard" meant a graveyard.
Of course when we're dealing with fantasy, a GM or an author can define things however they choose.
But while some people may call Voldemort a "lich," a quick search yielded no consensus for that.
