The presence of the OS isn't what makes a Seed Gundam a Gundam. It's Bandai labeling a mobile suit one that does that. If that wasn't the case, then there would be a lot more Gundams in the Seed universe. This is conceptually the same as to whether certain mobile suits are considered Gundams or not in Gundam 00, for example.
