No one is saying it cant transmit that way, just that it is likely not the predominant way.
Just because something can transmit via airborne particles doesnt make it an airborne virus.
This is partially because there is no strict definition for airborne virus.
humans have been known to eat other humans to survive. Cannibalism isnt the predominant mechanism for nutrition. Therefore we wouldnt generally call humans cannibals.
