AOE Tags on Default Skills (Mace Strike & Crossbow Shot)

Both of these default weapon attacks have the Area of Effect tag

Mace Strike: Scales with Attack area damage passives and the More area damage from concentrated effect

Crossbow Shot: Doesn't scale with Attack area damage passives and isn't affected by the More area damage from concentrated effect

Neither of these attack have an Area of Effect and are not affected by increases or reductions to Area of Effect size from passives or More or Less Area of Effect Size such as from magnified or concentrated effect

Strikes are AoE attacks in PoE2, they should be affected by area damage and AoE.

Not sure about Crossbow Shot, it seems tricky. According to the description, it shoots with bolts you've loaded in the crossbow, implying it's just a trigger button. In this case AoE tag would represent compatibility with AoE bolts. But in reality it's merged with default ammo, so socketed support gems affect only basic bolts, which don't have AoE. From this perspective, AoE tag doesn't belong there.
