Only an elf lawyer would bother posting the same question after everyone has reiterated again and again what is obvious.

There two questions being raised, not one and not even the one you've pointed out as being obvious. The list is the list, obviously, despite the fact that it is not intuitive and must be referenced. And to that the point, it was originally posted in 2020 and then edited in 2023. Now, with the new rule in effect, the mundane details have different applications and are worth scrutinizing. These are the two main questions...
1) What zone features cause PoF and PoG to be classified as dungeons?
2) How is the ruling meant to be interpreted? When it states that bard swarming/AE kiting is disallowed, it also includes spells and other classes as being disallowed, which makes sense as both can be involved with bard swarming/AE kiting to powerlevel. However, those spells and other classes are also necessary for AE piles in PoF which could be viewed as bard swarming/AE kiting because similar results are achieved, no different from Chardok AE groups of the past which have been disallowed.

The zones on the list are now disallowed from swarming (bard dot kiting). If your raid tactic is to have a bard run in circles twisting dots on a cluster of mobs until they are dead then you are SOL. Try something else. Maybe mage wizard druid and enchanter recruitment will increase.

Again, this is why the rule (correctly) includes spells and other classes because the bard does not need to apply dots to maintain the kite and for the desired result to be achieved. This however creates a Venn diagram, where raid tactics overlap with those of soloers/powerlevelers, both of which disrupt zones and generate petitions.
These questions aren't being asked to ruleslawyer, but for simplicity's sake and greater clarity, which was the stated purpose of the rule change itself.
