If you're taking the concept "Political Correctness" to mean keeping people ideologically in line through policing their speech, then yes, sure. What you're describing is more akin to the original "Political Correctness" which was coined by the NYTimes to describe what the Nazi party was doing.
But that's not what the debate about inclusive language is about now, and it wasn't about that back in the day when the PC term was first applied. That's what they want everyone to believe it is about, hence the specific phrase they applied to it. They wanted to shift the perception of the issue, and it seems like it's worked on a lot of people, hence the downvotes on my post.
It's no different than branding the ACA "Obamacare" when it was extremely similar to proposals Republicans made in the past. This time around, it's a crazed socialist plan because a Democrat is proposing it.
