With all this great researched information, your problem is a nitpick. Even if it's not technically a framework, many people refer to it as such

That’s the problem, it is not “technically” a framework, it’s just simple not. People that refer it as a framework heard it from somewhere and it confuses people as to what React actually is. NextJs is a framework that uses React library. This is how it should be informed. I guarantee newbies are getting confused as to…”well, should I use NextJs or React and what’s the difference?”
