I wouldn't call it pedantic. Addiction is just the wrong word, because health issues related to habitual porn usage is not always a kind of addiction, and what most people seem to think constitutes addiction is completely off. No doubt there are health issues that can happen with habitual porn use, but that's mostly not even specific to porn.
A much bigger issue is the misunderstanding that people seem to have with what constitutes an addiction. Having a routine is not an addiction. Having hobbies, even if they are crude or not socially acceptable, is not an addiction. If it's not really negatively impacting your life and it's under control, you are fine.
I have a feeling depending on what circles you are adjacent to will impact your opinions on which misconception is worse, but there has got to be roughly no people who truly believe you couldn't have an unhealthy obsession with porn. That's ridiculous.
