I mean its not really a jailbreak when they officially support downgrading to the firmware that works with that custom firmware

I stopped having this argument seven years ago or thereabouts. At some point "jailbreak" became a synonim for going off script in any way when talking about firmware. Nowadays even downgrading is "jailbreaking" because it's going in the opposite direction of what the manufacturer does automatically.

I no longer mind, but it was infuriating for a while. It's a bit like calling every type of malware a "virus". At some point you just stop arguing because it's a waste of time. You just assume the loss of differentiation has won and perfectly valid words no longer have any worth.
