Using the same logic, a key/value database is also a graph database?

Isn’t the biggest benefit of graph databases the indexing and additional query constructs they support, like shortest path finding and whatnot?

Yes, the author is likely unaware of this. They see markdown files with links, so a graph and the set of those files, so a "database".

I think the confusion stems from the fact that we call a database what is really a database management system.
