> That is why Pinyin is an umbrella term for these orthographies.

I'm not objecting to the word as an umbrella term, but the umbrella term as a tag. I don't know anyone who objects to the name "Scandinavian languages" as an umbrella term, but its practical usefulness as a tag would be very limited.
