Not to be that guy but... I'm gonna be that guy. "Fresh" salt makes no sense. Neither does "dried" salt, I guess unless you're harvesting sea salt. Paprika is, by definition, dried, ground, red pepper. The "freshest" homemade paprika is still going to be dried and powdered. Your store-bought onion/garlic is already "cured" by letting it dry for shelf-life. This is not a big deal because even home-grown garlic is usually cured for the sake of storage. Ever seen a garlic braid? Drying/curing is why those exist.
I want to agree with you in spirit, but parsley is literally the only example you gave where fresh, not dried, is really relevant. Come to think of it, isn't being dried a requirement for something being considered a spice? Fresh herbs are a thing but fresh spices, not so much.
It wasnt necessarily about the freshness, which is true for certain things, but more about if the seasonings are seperated into individual ones throughout the cooking process, then they percieve it as not seasoning because they werent all combined.
Salt is salt, parika is paprika but the point is this talking point comes from the perception that not shaking a spicy shaker onto your food means you dont season your food.
India is probably the top of the chain in terms of seasoned, spicy food and yet you dont see them shaking tobasco sauce and laurys onto their curry.
You don't want to know what's in the curry.
