You may consider them this way, but ISO decided and we cannot overturn
them here.

But you don't think that all the "encompassed languages"
("micro-languages") of ISO 639-3 are "just dialects", no? So, we would
have to decide which are represented by extlangs and which are not. I
believe it would be too complicated (and arbitrary because it would
mean a discussion on a classification that was already decided by
ISO).
