Guess we are in a semantics trap.

Rotary engine is a sub-set of reciprocating engines.
The setup does eliminate crank and piston counterweights.
The setup produces a vicious torque reaction on acceleration/deceleration  on an aircraft.

...but the pistons still go up and down in the bores  (reciprocating).
