Thus legally it can be called a lubricant. For real life
applications it is seldom an effective lubricant, but is far more
effective at removing pre-existing lubricant.

We are in full agreement on that! AFAIAC it is a very temporary
lubricant. As you say, quite useful for removing old lubricant, which
can sometimes be just a sticky residue.

In my experience it's WD40 that leaves a "sticky residue". That's why I
always advise against using it on marginal ignition systems to help
starting on cold/wet mornings. It does help get rid of water
'immediately' but the sticky gunge it leaves behind stores up even more
trouble in the future.

Whatever happened to "Dampstart" or was it "wetstart"?
