Right. Then sure, they're providing transit -across- their ASN, but
they aren't providing reachability to the internet as a whole.
The latter is what typically is meant by "transit" versus "peering".

I've heard transit being used in this confusing, overlapping but
not quite equivalent contexts before. They aren't the same thing.
