Ansible expresses (in YAML) constructs for variables, loops, conditions and more.

I think the point here is that YAML is not a programming language.

If you're writing Ansible playbooks with YAML then you are using it as a declarative programming language. So YAML
can
be a programming language.

More like the encoding scheme for the programming language. YAML isn't a language, ansible is; it's like how unicode isn't a programming language.

It's not a programming language. (Rather like HTML.) It's a markup language that can be used as the encoding for a real programming language, but it's not a programming language itself.
