The drywall may help minimize shifting/settling but the dreary is not a structurally required component of the block wall.

What’s that got to do with furring strips that can be used in structural drywall applications? We are getting too far from the original point.
You agree drywall is structural and that’s all that matters to this discussion.

Dry wall is not fucking structural. Jesus. Doesn’t even have the integrity to compress too thick of insulation without pulling through the screws.

Yes, it provided load support but it’s not providing structural load support……
To be extremely clear, your own, provided definition, is not talking about structural components.
Yes, on an interior, non-structural wall drywall can stiffen the structure. No, that does not mean the drywall is structural.

I just realized that you’re confusing gypsum board with drywall. While they are similar, gypsum board can be used for the loads you’re describing.
Drywall, however, cannot.
