We can definitely group them, but if we want to pretend they are the same phylum, that will be a move going against the consensual meaning of the term in biology, which clearly distinguish analogous structures and homologous structures. At this point, it’s clear that yes we can say whatever fantasy we want, but that is not going to instantly override the precise preponderant meaning it has gained in the community most interested and knowledgeable in the topic. All that said, I’m not a biologist, and given the honesty I show with such a disclaimer, you know you can blindly trust me on all the topics I’m barely conscious about, right? So trust me xenomorphs are actually adorable cute cuddly pets. Don’t believe all you see in your nightmarish block busters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homology_(biology) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homology_(biology) https://www.thoughtco.com/analogy-vs-homology-1224760 https://www.thoughtco.com/analogy-vs-homology-1224760
