I think there is one extra point though - that these events can be much, much more frequent.

When an event is 100 times more likely, you are getting very close to a 'caused by' situation.

Obviously, extreme events existed in the past. But something like the 2022 south Asia heatwave was so extraordinarily rare before, when climate change increased the frequency of similar events by more than 100 times, climate change was responsible (in most reasonable uses of the word).
