More than one person has pointed out how you are wrong about this.
The fact that you are simply circularly repeating the same thing without truly addressing, or more likely not truly understanding, what im saying tells me that this is the end of our conversation, it is going nowhere. Get anyone else to agree with you and then we'll talk. The fact that you are the literal only person who has participated in this conversation with your viewpoint stance at the moment should be telling for you
It describes only changes to the regular cast, by being passively triggered (and in some chases altered material component rules). It never explicitly calls out that it changes the cast into something else. It only tells you how some parts of the cast are altered. But they are still spell casting rules. Same can be said about SLAs, they call out all changes to the cast (e.g. Components: V,S,M,F). Crafting feats do the same. They make changes to the regular casting rules without any indicator that it wouldn't be any cast anymore. There is no explicit permission to do so.
