Because US Federal law isn't structured to deal with the word 'insurrection' as a crime.
But it looks like an insurrection, acts like an insurrection, walks like an insurrection, and over 700 people were charged and imprisoned.

The US legal framework is not structured to deal with insurrection as a concept so what you're doing is you are arguing over semantics not facts.
Okay, do you know what 'sedition' means? Look it up. You'll be shocked.
Insurrection is an Act to overthrow
If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow
This is why they were not charged under insurrection laws.
This has nothing to do with dictionary definitions.
