Semantics. You could say the same about the disk - the data doesn't get magically teleported from the magnetic plates to the RAM, it needs a lot of underlying hardware to read and transfer it.

Model is not just a set of weights, it's inseparable from the underlying architecture, the way to train and to apply them in practice.

that's exactly my point

Yeah, and that's arguing about semantics. We could do that in a loop endlessly, ignoring the fact they're fundamentally different.
