Zeuhl has distinct characteristics that are clearly definable and observable and while present in non-zeuhl progressive rock bands, aren't staples found in every band. To the point even where there are zeuhl bands like Eskaton who sing in their native language rather than gibberish but can still be defined as zeuhl for having all of the vocal and instrumental qualities present in Magma; And to the point that instrumental zeuhl groups ranging from Ewaz Vader to Dun pop up and are recognized as zeuhl for showcasing a clear reverence for Magma's instrumental sound, particularly the Jannick and Paganotti eras.
To argue that zeuhl shouldn't actually exist because it's just jazzy symphonic prog is to argue that "symphonic prog" doesn't exist because it's just progressive rock.
