No. This is a very old debate I'm bringing up. The criteria for being listed as an "infected site" is not clear enough.

Your example is how the site got infected. The types of infection is listed 2 or so paragraphs above that

What makes you so sure that kind of malware isn't being distributed by otherwise trusted 3rd-party scripts?

That's the standard definition of a supply chain attack. If the website maintainer was acting maliciously or incompetently, it wouldn't be a supply chain attack anymore.
