Fucking preach. You’re very right, and my stance aligns closely with yours. Another thing I read while doing my degree was that the C-O-alkyl groups were inductive of the stability of BC and availability for mineralization.
Again, BC is good as a C storage source and might even have some soil boosting effects but those effects were secondary. A lot of the benefits generally come from increased porosity/critter habitat.
It’s also fucking expensive to make without generating a shit ton of CO2 in the process so it’s a crap amendment in general
