It's only the "same process" by a gross oversimplification -- ie, yes, you put ground coffee and hot water together with some pressure. Moka pots provide very little in the way of control vs. a proper espresso machine, and at best produce only about 20% of the pressure. The result is a VASTLY different beverage. By your logic, an Aeropress is also "the same process" since it's forcing water through grounds under pressure, but nobody would call that espresso, either. I adore proper espresso, but I have never enjoyed Moka pot coffee. I also adore pour-over coffee, but no one would mistake any filter-coffee process for espresso.
