That's why a change is imminent in order to vacate the DE designation before Sammy B is introduced, so that the two definitions of DE does not collide chronologically and cause confusion. I don't know what your "obvious reason" against PF is, but I have a more obvious reason for it: Kaiboukans WERE INDEED reclassified as PF after the war. For example Tsushima became ROCS Lin An (PF-77). This is far more powerful a proof now than in the previous Kaiboukan designation war, as now we DO have Tsushima introduced. Unfortunately for you, whether the new USN DE will get the same API type as Kaiboukans or not is not for you to decide, but by Tanaka. While you might be correct when it comes to irl history, a single whimsical choice from Tanaka can basically nullify any arguments or reasoning from a historical standpoint. As a matter of fact, the Hiyou-class aircraft carriers are now suddenly CVLs in this game, you never know lol.

My advice is the same to you as the others, any debates now is pointless until it's finally released. I'll reconsider PF when that time comes.
