Yeah a real flamethrower fires a line of sticky flaming liquid up to 50". It's like saying a BB gun is the same thing as a M4.
The first flamethrowers date to the 7th century. No they aren't modern military flamethrowers but as with the description "commercial flamethrowers are generally blowtorches using gaseous fuels such as propane". No they don't have the same range or lethality but saying they cant both be flamethrowers is saying a BB doesn't shoot projectiles because it's not as the same projectiles and range of a military assault rifle.
