You can all tropical cultures have some form of rice bread. Indians have rice bhakhari, South East Asia has rice paper, rice mixed with wheat in banh mi, Liberia and Sierra Leone have ginger rice bread.
Its a fundamentally different bread and requires different complimentary food. If you use it as replacement for wheat bread it will not taste the same.
Its like you made wheat pilav and then complained its not the same.
Of course it’s not the same that’s the point.
It depends on how we’re defining bread, and none of your examples are a leavened loaf. They’re just impossible to make without gluten which rice doesn’t have. (Hence why they add wheat to make banh mi.)
