How is it not? Is there any indication that it would not be?

It is clearly listed under "melee weapons", is deliberately added to Areliths custom weapon classes as 1-handed concussion weapon and we even have a variant that has ON-HIT properties.

Sorry. I would like to know why this is not a weapon as well.

Not a bug. This is done to prevent interaction with dragon shape.
