I mean, if you follow the logic, undead are "animated corpses" and constructs are "animated objects", sooo.... Sure, the "Rule of Cool" wins my vote on this.
Yes. That's the point. But you don't need rule of cool for this. You just need to use at least a single braincell to apply RAI.
Gonna disagree, rule of cool is the deciding factor between the RAI vs RAW interpretations.
I wouldn't say it's RAI, spells or abilities meant for inanimate objects typically don't include undead under colloquial interpretations but it is definitely RAW using very technical interpretations.
Yes. And RAI means „rules as intended“. The technical interpretation of those words seems very much unintended.
