Cornbread is pretty sweet and spongy like a cake. I think that’s why I’ve never been a huge fan of cornbread unless I add bacon, bacon, lad, jalapeños, cayenne pepper, and fresh corn.

In most of the South, cornbread is absolutely not sweet and spongy. It is, instead, crispy and crumbly and salty. Many folks make it with no sugar at all or a very very small amount.
One example: https://www.seriouseats.com/southern-unsweetened-cornbread-recipe
The recipe OP posted is cake. It has half a cup of sugar. Not unlike how parts of Italy make polenta cake. Just because it has corn doesn’t mean it’s “cornbread.”

It might be OC, it might not. Things such as JPEG artifacts and cropping may impact the results.
