It's a huge part of what makes nostr nostr. It's other stuff. You also sign events with your keys. You do realise the relays (the R in nostr) are just servers, right?

They also mirror the media to prevent it from being taken down so it’s a very important part of keeping nostr censorship resistant
Any decent CDN does that, even CF.
It's not "other stuff", it's stuff other than Nostr.
It is as much Nostr as Google Drive is.
Nostr is a protocol. Nostr.build is an image host like many, it just happens to have "Nostr" in the name.

They are Nostr servers.
Not all servers are Nostr servers. Only those that operate through the Nostr protocol are.
If one can access the servers with a nostr keypair, they are utilizing the nostr protocol.
