RE: Sure, A/B amp usually have lower bias settings

You're not blind. The reason folks are misunderstanding is because the definition of Class-A (in the audio world) has really become squishy in the last few decades. Even Nelson Pass is playing fast/loose with the wording and descriptions of this.
These sort of things become entrenched into the audiophile lingo and it becomes impossible to make any headway reversing it.

Your description is absolutely correct. A device biased halfway between cutoff and saturation is Class-A. Anything else is....something else.
