That’s not true. A Trojan is a virus disguised as something else to trick your victim. Am I the only one that messed with their friends with ones like sub7 and stuff like 30 years ago? Lol
No, he is correct. A program is only similar to (not equal to) a trojan if it is a corporate MDM installed, knowing the risks, since it is not intentionally corrupting files or causing harm. Spyware, yes, but not trojan.
No, they’re wrong. They were wrong as soon as they said a Trojan you have to install yourself, which is exactly how it works. It can’t work if you weren’t tricked into installing it. The Trojan doesn’t have to cause harm it’s called a Trojan based on the way it has to be deployed.
I agree with your sentiment, but it’s still a Trojan.
It just requires you to bypass all of the “do not do this unless you know what you’re doing” warnings to go through the very obviously risky process to be able to install the Trojan.
A trojan you have to install yourself (by accepting a malicious MDM profile) is not a trojan…

Do you know how most viruses and Trojans work? Because I can guarantee they don’t just show up on your computer magically.
