It’s like saying just because there’s a free offering the product isn’t free. Anyone who has ever built a shareware or demoware product understand the free offering is a funnel to the paid offering and doesn’t exist as an independent part but as an advertisement for the paid product.

Yes, but still a free product. Unless you say that in the future the product won't have a free offering anymore, it's a free product.
That’s literally not how people in the business of creating product strategies classify things.
Yes, it is? Usually, products with free offering + subscriptions get classified as "freemium".
