in that case, meshtastic does not do routing. like a network switch or a wifi AP is not a router (except combined consumer devices but that’s an other thing)
though, doesn’t meshtastic have some kind of relayed operation? that would count as routing, I think.

Right! I think Meshtastic is closer to how switches work with STP and network broadcasts. This allows for multiple devices to relay the same message but it’s not the same as routing. Reticulum goes a step further with directing messages to specific paths and destinations in the network like a router would as you said, rather than broadcasting the encrypted message to all it can reach.
