The link you posted shows the opposite: Trappists brew many types of beer, though arguably Trippels are the most common lately.

Saying Trappist is a type of beer is like saying French is a type of poodle — if you used the label only to refer to a poodle bred in France.

A more apt comparison is saying Bordeaux is a type of wine. Bordeaux is a region in France; it is well-known for 5-6 types of wine; any Bordeaux wine that qualifies for AOC proudly displays its Bordeaux heritage on the bottle.
