It 100% counts. As a somewhat irregular DM, DnD is a very poorly designed game.
Using digital tools as a DM for any sort of TTRPG is justifiable for the same reasons we use computers instead of books.
But the real problem is that players need digital tools too as the character sheet for any character with spellcasting is unworkable by hand.
Any prepared caster would need to manually copy every spell of the right level from their spell list onto paper every few level ups. If they don't write out the spell exactly as written (i.e, if they summarize) then you're opening the flood gates of rules lawyering and googling/book opening mid session.
Many other TTRPGs don't have this problem because they are designed with "playing with paper" in mind.
