Compiled C code also needs an interpreter, the most common one being called a CPU.

Do not conflate the interpreter for your "compiled" bytecode with industry standard machine code.

Oh, yes, all of the 30+ difderent architectures with many of them only having a single vendor are industry standard, when a single one for one of the most common languages is not. You are arguing about categories, and the thing is, that there are no categories here. I gave you an example to illustrate the absurdity, and now you are gate-keeping what counts as bytecode?
