The whole basis of this (nonsense) argument, and related ones, is that "weapon" is defined as "one of the entries in the 'weapons' table in the DMG", rather than y'know, the normal meaning of the word. But there is zero indication that this'd be the case, it's just powergaming chudslop.
Treantmonk has been a disaster for tbe 5e community.
Jarvis, translate this comment into English
DMG: Acronym, Dungeon Master's Guide.
Powergaming [verb]: The practice of optimising games above all other concerns, even fun.
Chud [noun]: A horrible creature that lives in the sewers and survives by licking piss off of boots. Sort like a goblin or ghoul.
Slop [noun]: Art that is of low quality.
Treantmonk [proper noun]: popular Youtuber that designs genuinely impressive powergaming builds for 5e, but frequently uses bad-faith arguments like this.
"X has been a disaster for Y": A snowclone, ah, alas, I forget where this one comes from.
5e is the disaster
