The Guardian probably did that because the people organizing Activate stated that they were modeling their group on Momentum.

My only quibble with your description of Momentum is that I would say it's as much about promoting the ideas Corbyn's leadership has championed as it is about championing Corbyn as a person. There would be a clearer distinction on this, I think, if those who'd opposed Corbyn and had tried to force him out as leader had not also seemed fixated on erasing everything he stood for from the party in doing so.
