Untrue as here is the definition of early access for video games... NOTE the “Pre-FULL release” version of the game. I can say the demo we are getting on console shouldn’t be put on early access as it’s clearly not an early access title by definition, unless you want to really stretch the definition of early access.
To you later question about it just having a release date, I would rather see a release date with a $60 price tags then using a demo for early access holding the rest of the game hostage until release day. Its taking advantage and gaining certain benefits being listed as early access when it clearly could just have a set release date and come out at full price.
