Again, since we're play semantics here, OFW is OFW. It doesn't matter how you boot it up. If you're including the bootloader and the whole boot process itself I would call it a custom "process". When talking about the firmware itself OFW is OFW. End of debate.
Idk why some people think it’s not OFW... you boot with custom payload but you still boot to OFW.
Because Hekate is just a bootloader, using a bootloader to boot into OFW is still OFW, it is called Custom Firmware because you modified the firmware, to allow you to run homebrew/ kernel level access etc.
I understand what he/she is saying. But he/she opened up the debate. For all intense and purposes (and especially for noobs) the end user experience is that it's not a "true" OFW boot process.
Because there are patches. If there weren't, it. would. not. boot. Not with fuses burnt. And if it still survives sleep mode, the patches stay resident, which is even more CFW than *just a simple bootstrap. NOW it's the end of the debate.

Sure. So that the layman understands the purpose. It's the most "official" you can get, without actually being official.
I could call a rhino a unicorn. Some of them certainly do have a single horn, but that doesn't make it the same thing. Perhaps the legends were born from a drunk bastard who actually saw an anorexic rhino...

But before you told us, that you can downgrade with burnt fuses. But than you would need to boot with custom payload. So it's not really a downgrade.Sure. So that the layman understands the purpose. It's the most "official" you can get, without actually being official.

I'd say go ahead and dump the 7.X master keys then downgrade back to 6.2 and learn how to convert 7.X games/updates to 6.2 with tinfoil or NSC_Builder. That way you wont need to worry about burnt fuses and still play the latest content
Are you trying (and failing, I might add) to argue just for the sake of arguing? If it wasn't really a downgrade, then the burnt fuses wouldn't prevent you from booting. That's a function of the OLDER (because... you downgraded) OFW doing its job by checking whether or not you had downgraded.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
