Bermuda grass is also a weed, in the north. But it looks a LOT different from rye and blue fescue. Looks different, feels different, it's a very significantly visible difference. In the south, rye and blue fescue can't grow the same way, can't survive well at all.
So I do get that what's a weed to me, is viable ground cover to Floridians. I totally get that. But that is WHY I'm confused about their disdain for torpedo grass.
