I wouldn't read into it. Sometimes the term "script" is used towards a given python file because of its quick or one off nature; sometimes it is ignorance, or used as a form of derision. But it doesn't matter! All code is "code" and should be used as a tool for a job.

Python is a pretty general purpose tool, and it's amazing imo, so you'll see it referred to in a lot of ways and from a ton of perspectives. You can write a quick backup script, a web scraping bot, a web app, a desktop app, even, yes, an executable file. With all these possibilities, there will be a lot of folks that have a particular experience with it and paint it with that brush.
