Sefardi?

Nope, probably just following the psak of a single talmid chacham who wasn't even an official posek and thinking that's the consensus.

I didn't mean it in a degrading way, that's just a known misconception. That psak was given by the person who ran the Satmar Broadway bakery, he gave matzo to visitors and workers and said make a mezonos, that's why it got picked up even though most poskim disagreed.

I guess your making Hamotzi on Pretzels?

First, is my assumption true?
Pretzels are different as it's meant to be a snack. Not looking to go into another mezonos roll discussion here.

During the year it's meant to be a snack.

Here you have it

Snacking on challah doesn't make it mezonos. It's the type and purpose of the bread that determines that. Aderabeh, AYLOR and report back.

I did and that's Psak I got.
The matzah is being produced for the purpose of 'bread' solely for pesach

The entire purpose of matzo is for pesach, there is no secondary pretzel-all year round snack purpose to it.
(If you can pm me who gave you that psak I'll appreciate it)

[Definitions2]

I don't know if this helps. We always use matzah as a cracker when eating chopped liver on shabbos.

Local mikvah put out a sign: "The mikvah is not a mezonos, you must wash before"

...And as a counterpoint, there is a serious talmid chochom I know who buys extra matzah Pesach-time so that he can have preserved matzah all year that he can wash on, as he would make mezonos on the matzah produced during the year (the ones marked "chometz"). He said both pesakim came directly from Rav Tuvia Goldstein zatzal.
