My definition: aggressive spread and resilience to removal.

That fits to a lot of useful plants too. Strawberries, Brambles, Mint, just to name a few.

Yes. If you don't have adequate containment then strawberries can absolutely be a weed.

A delicious weed, but still a weed.

And that's the actual definition of a weed: If you don't want it there, it's a weed. If you do, it's not.
