I guess you might consider them as compression, but not sure who makes tights that are not compression but still form fitting. Never seen that. I do have a pair of cross country ski pants made by Bill Koch (he was a U.S. Olympian skier), these are loose but form fitting, but also heavier than the plain lightweight Aerotech tights I use. I’ve never seen anything like these currently.
"Compression" tights means something specific. It is not just form fitting, but designed to squeeze sort of tight. Supposedly good for performance and recovery.

Perhaps they are using the term loosely (no pun intended).
