I think you have this backwards. All data is "unstructured", until you choose to find some structure in it. Deciding a bunch of points fit a line is entirely your call, after all. Until you are there to declare there's a structure, it's just a bunch of dots.

Even having a designated x- and y- axis is some amount of structure, and you're right, a person has to be there to determine how they want to view/interact/interpret the structure. But it would be foolish to say that a csv with "time" and "value" columns is unstructured before a person comes along to plot time on the x-axis.
