Sure, but then you’re taking it in small cup form rather than as a larger volume drink. That still makes them two very different things.

If I want a nice, large margarita, telling me I can have a couple shots of tequila misses the point. Nothing against tequila, but a mixed drink and a shot are different enough that one is not a substitute for another.

Same with espresso. Americano is much closer in form factor to a latte than straight espresso. And more to my post’s point, most times when people say black coffee they mean drip.

The americanos I've had were about the same volume as a regular filter coffee. And even if there was a difference in volume, it wouldn't matter - "black" vs "with milk" only refers to whether you add any amount of milk.
