I take your point. This didn't rise to the level of the coups we've seen in other countries, typically carried out by the military. But it's also something more than "plain" sedition. Not only was it a group of nutjobs with little chance of success, but they were organized and/or encouraged by the outgoing President himself, and were aided by the anemic security that was also coordinated by the President (via recent appointments to the Pentagon, decision to discourage or deny National Guard assistance, etc.) That tie to Trump, along with the intentionally weak security, adds another dimension to this. EDIT: I read your link after the reply above. Thanks, it captures the nuance pretty well.
