Honestly how much does that mean when they lack representatives / are unable to vote, and do not get full protection of US constitution (as per Wikipedia)? Sounds like citizens in name only…
It is. But enough of them still think that going full statehood brings other evils and they’re content with the sublevel of protection they have. And that is their right, we shouldn’t force it on anyone who doesn’t want it.
They’re all still american citizens (for now) so I’d say it counts.

Doesn’t your logic also throw out anyone living in Washington, D.C.?
Yes, and that’s also a significant problem and should be illegal.
