By your logic, all classical computers are measuring voltages and calling them bits.
A computer is just an experiment, right?
All of the awesome things we build with computers are just propaganda.

A classical computer is more than an experiment. The "just" part of that statement is what matters. Computer implies some degree of generalizability in computing things. If it can only compute one thing, it's at the trivial extreme and would be more logically described in terms of that single things it does. For example a beamsplitter that divides power in half. We call it a beamsplitter, not a classical computer that calculates 1/2 input power.
