'Your face was so beautiful, I fell in love at first sight' is also a platonic statement, obviously.
I think if a girl says 'my love for this other girl is like the love my dad had for my mom', it's pretty clearly yuri, but maybe her dad loved her mom platonically which is why he married her and had kids together.
Anyway, arguments about what 'counts as yuri' can be solved simply if you read more books. When you're not invested solely in cartoons as 'representation', you'll feel a lot better.
It's another example of inverting the power dynamic, of DARVO scaled up to societal scale. The vulnerable minority at higher risk of being assaulted and brutalized cast as the threat to the state actor with power over them in this very situation.
