I don't have a problem with a molded bead, or leadheads or anything. I fish with all of them. It's just a matter of definitions.
I'll even share one of my dirty little secrets.....I sometimes put a spinning reel on my fly rod and use it like a noodle rod, for crappie and bluegills, with ultralite jigs, and worms. It never made sense to me to buy an Uncle Buck's 10' Crappie Rod, when I already have rods that are almost that long, and probably have better action. They work beautifully.
