It really comes down to the role Azusa is given vs the role she takes.

I know that she does play lead parts in many songs including the ones you edited. However, on the whole, Azusa is considered the rhythm guitarist.

No one really calls Yui the rhythm guitarist, even though all she really does is play chords, right.

In my own band we have a dedicated keyboardist, guitarist, and bassist (me). The guitarist and I also share a synthesiser that we can both use during some of our songs. Just because I might use the synth on a few songs doesn't make me another keyboardist, I'm still technically the bassist. I know it's different for Azusa and guitar since rhythm and lead are the one instrument, but swapping roles for certain songs shouldn't really get in her way of her official designation 'rhythm guitarist'.
