I can't say for sure "everybody" but it's a fairly popular opinion. It means Bitcoin has an outstanding position in the space and shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath.
To some extent even US Feds are agreeing with this and want to regulate Bitcoin as a resource like iron ore or gold and regulate Ethereum and others as securities like a bank or a stock etc. Although this is still up for debate

It's neither fact nor opinion. It's lexical semantics.

Ok. I think I got it. Thanks
Crypto here makes reference to the cryptospace/altcoins/cryptocurrencies. This is what I understood.
For a moment I thought crypto as cryptography. And just made no sense tome that BTC could not be cryptography.
