The main aim is good photos I think...The lens could be fetish or could be tool.
I have no problem at all, I only told my opinnion about what I would call a prime.
And for sure, the lens only target is to be optically good, but if the mount wear out after some years usage, the optical result may be affected by slack mount.
If those lenses I bought 1975 would be with plastic mount, I'm not sure they would be with out any slack today. I'm really happy those old lenses are well built with metal mount
I took this matter up, because I do not believe the 50mm f1,8 would be sooo much higher in price even it would be made with metal mount
As I told, this is only my opinnion, and I actually do not have any problem with this matter.
For me it is ok to stop talking about which kind of constructions are worth to be named as prime
