As you’ve pointed out espresso is a coffee so that would make it a coffee drink. Also any coffee seed (bean) can be ground and used in this machine

Well sure. Espresso is not just a machine it's a roast and technique. You can use any bean. I would argue that if you put a light roast in an espresso machine you are not making espresso. But any bean, if roasted properly would be.

I’ve had plenty of good experiences with light roasts ran through an espresso machine

A lot of people (myself included) would say that there is no such thing as an espresso roast
