It's about "altered DNA," not DNA in general.

Is there a reason why it shouldn't be considered a drug?

The fact that there's no reason it should be considered a drug, due to not being biologically distinct from some random strand of "natural" DNA.

It's a chemical product that has been made or altered by human activity. That makes it a drug.

To the human body, "modified" DNA is indistinguishable from "natural" (whatever that means) DNA. Making people pay millions of dollars and wait 20 years for approval of such a thing is stupid.
