I think "agenty" was made up to point out that while all humans are agents to some extent, some do it far better than others.

Personally, "agenty" makes me squirm a bit and I wish we'd just used "agency".

Yes, likewise for me. I used "agenty" in this post because it was specifically about LessWrong's perspective.
