Ok, im going to ask as to why was this anime suddently changed and is now considered an ONA instead of a TV anime. It is still airing on TV, episode 1 aired as planned and the following episodes will air weekly as well. Even watching the anime characters are saying things like "this week's episode", "the past week's episode".
The same thing happened with RikeKoi the previous season but it was only changed to ONA a week before ending airing.

Having episodes available before they air (or in this case at the time of episode 1 airing) should not be a reason to consider something an ONA anime, if that was the case this season's Appare-Ranman! and BNA should be ONAs by that logic. BNA for example already has 6 episodes available to watch before airing.
Is it because every episode was made available before it ended its TV run? Then we have inconsistencies in the database. ReLIFE was streamed fully a few days before its TV airing began and is considered a TV anime in MAL.
Unless it is streaming only or is streamed before having its TV run announced, like Momokuri, it should always be considered a TV anime.

Why should it be put back as TV anime?
First and the most obvious one because it aired on TV and because they are even considered TV anime when they were announced and on their site.

That's because RikeKoi and Jashin-chan were streamed on Amazon Prime Japan, unlike the others shows you mentioned. But I'm completely agree with you.

That shouldn't be a reason. What makes Amazon so special then. This is the same with Netflix.
ReLife was streamed in advance in Comico's application, the same aaplication as Momokuri, but is TV.
What I can agree with is how they did Nanbaka, also a Comico anime, The "first season" aired on TV and was streamed so it was TV. But the "second season", that in reality is the same production and had no breaks airing from season to season, was only streamed so its understandable that they had to make a new ONA entry for it. This also gives info on to how it was broadcasted. Satsuriku no Tenshi is another good example.
But labeling TV anime has ONA just because they were streamed in advance (and not doing that for every entry) is confusing and gives the impression that it was only streamed and didn't aired on TV.

The biggest example here and what is a mess is the +Ultra anime that air on Fuji TV and Netflix.
While some are considered TV: Carole & Tuesday, Beastars, BNA, Great Pretender (for now)
Others are threated as ONAs: Ingress, Revisions, Drifting Dragons

I couldn’t even find this series I had to look it up and it’s weird it’s in the Ona section even though it’s airing weekly, I kinda hope they put it back because both the first season is labeled as a tv anime and it’ll be easier to find if it’s with the other anime

Thats another problem with it. The sorting and searching for anime. People will not pay as much atention to anime treated as ONA as they do to TV.
If you notice from the +Ultra anime all of the ones considered TV are more popular than the ones that are ONAs.
RikeKoi was actually lucky. It was able to get 100k members because it was considered TV anime while airing.

It was just something I noticed. Maybe it's not for that reason lol.
But yeah, all these things make no sense.

well, the anime finished first online so I guess they thought it would be easier that way for the people who already finished it.

according to wiki for definition of ONA
ONAs may also have been aired on television if they were first directly released on the Internet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_net_animation

because Amazon Prime Video is first media who released not TV broadcast according to this article
The website also revealed that the series will premiere in Japan on AT-X on April 6 at 10:30 p.m.
Amazon Prime Video will stream all the episodes at once in advance of the television broadcast on April 6 at 10:15 p.m.

but i agree for your statement about relife, it should change to ONA.
if you want change to ONA you should make report and bring some good evidence why should change to ONA.
https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1510673&show=0

idk about bna but that 6 episode released before tv airing can consider ONA.
because so far i dont see there's anime which some episode release in internet as promo and every episode was made available in TV.
if there is any, we should use that as reference because im lazy to find.
you should discuss this with mod.

If it's released whole on online platform before airing in tv it's ONA.
