Sure, “disfluency” might be recognized by the FDA as something that needs attention. But, that doesn’t mean stuttering at its core is wrong. If you stutter with no negative feelings or physical tension, there’s nothing that needs to be addressed. It gets so bad because people avoid stuttering which leads to blocks and secondary behaviors etc etc. Labeling it as neurological doesn’t mean we are pushing it to the side. It’s simply a fact that stuttering is neurological. Researchers have known this for 30+ years actually. If anything, it brings some clarity as to what causes stuttering (i.e, not the fault of the person or their family, but rather a genetic condition that has its roots in brain anatomy and function). Again, a good SLP will treat the negative reactions to stuttering, not the stuttering itself, knowing that attaining fluency is not realistic or possible.
