I can’t say I’ve ever thought about it one way or another, but I don’t really feel physically exhausted or sore after housework, so I guess I wouldn’t consider it exercise? For me at least, I don’t mean to say anyone is wrong for thinking otherwise. I dunno, I sweep, mop, clean the bathroom, do the dishes, all the normal housework stuff - it’s definitely more strenuous than not doing anything, but in my mind there’s a place between exercise and sitting which is where housework kinda falls.

Though the linked article includes some yardwork like raking, weeding and mowing the lawn, which definitely feel more like exercise to me. I guess it’s probably relevant that I live in a house on the smaller side with a yard on the bigger side, so there’s a lot more work to do outside than inside. I can stay on top of house stuff with an hour here and there while outdoor stuff is basically endless.
