Definitely counts as spam. I give them a few courtesy clicks on the "unsubscribe", if I still get the chance in yet another email, I go for the "report as spam" as they clearly don't give a damn.
Also, screw those who require you to login to update your preferences, they also get a quick treatment as above. Take me to the page where I can adjust the types of email I get if you must, but obey the unsubscribe demand by default.
In the end, "report as spam" is two clicks away making it the easiest route to achieve the same result.
I've met multiple sites that won't load the unsubscribe page without disabling ad blockers.
Those get spam listed the same as login walls.
