Well, what you talking about is some ways to use evolutionary algorithms to optimize the parameters of a ML model. But in my eyes, it doesn't mean it is ML. They both share a lot, but they aren't the same. For me, evolutionary algorithms is part of Meta Heuristics, which is part of AI (which ML is also part of). Different areas and sub areas of research do interact with each other. I just mean that the is part is a bit too much in this case.

They not about learning from data, they are about optimization. They are from the broader AI field of study, but I wouldn't say they are ML. They serve a different purpose. Even though there are some research about using them to optimize models (instead of using gradient descent), but it's not their main use case.
