Ummmmm ok it's not a ban, because they haven't banned immigration. They've increased the amount of time for somebody to enter the country from 1 of 7 countries for 90 days longer than the current 120 days. This is not a ban on immigration, because immigrants can and still come here.

Not true. A dual citizen German-Iranian with a valid visa had no "120 day wait". The green card holders on airplanes to the US as the ban was enacted had not waited 120 days before boarding a flight to the US after visiting their relatives.
Despite your best efforts at pretend nuance, this really is an unprecedented step. And it fully justifies the term immigration ban.

WTF are you talking about? People with valid visas could have entered immediately before this. Now they are banned! People coming back from vacations were being deported before the courts intervened.
