Wait, so this person is irritated about the fact that he’s not getting good signal by stuffing his Wifi router into the wall? Do they not realize they can just use one of those Ethernet lines to place the router in a more open spot? Or even have multiple APs throughout the house?
Ethernet specs also include the physical layer so, no, it’s not even technically correct. X.25 even covered everything from physical to network. TCP covers both layer 5 and 6 (transport and session), it’s not terribly uncommon to cover more than one layer. OSI layers are more of a guideline, not rules.

Ethernet is a layer 2 protocol. Ethernet can run over many physical media types and configurations.
You are technically correct (the best kind of correct), but we all know that he meant UTP cable such as cat6 with 8p8c connectors.
