The comparison someone else made in another thread was, "a Farrari is a super fast car... but it's still a car." Same deal.

Also, the version of Odin we are familiar with is a farce. It's similar to how Tiamat described Bahamut. This is not the real Odin. Zantetsuken is simply making a phantom. So, technically, the Odin we know is a Primal conjured by Zantetsuken, however, the real Odin may have an entirely different nature. So, we might have to be careful when referring to Odin in the future, as the Odin Zantetsuken summons is not the same as the real one, and we don't even know for sure that the real one is dead.
They have said that Odin became a primal after taking up the cursed blade Zantetsuken. That would suggest that at least the original Primal version of Odin was the actual real Odin, turned primal similar to several other examples we have seen. Never the less Odin is very different and he isn't alone. Who exactly is worshipping the Warring Triad? It could be that true Eikon's require no worshipers.
