Lol gotta love that even Harbor Freight even calls WD-40 a lubricant. It’s not a lubricant, it’s a penetrating oil and really a degreaser. If it’s something that needs lubrication you should absolutely use an actual lubricant after using WD-40, E.G. bike chains, door hinges, etc.
It’s not the kind of lubricant you would want to lubricate your bike chain before a ride with, but there is nothing about lubricant that implies it must be suitable for bike chains.

They do also make lube for bike chains under the WD-40 brand.
Penetrating oil is a lubricant.
