A flash suppressor isn't a "cosmetic feature" - it is clearly functional.
Then cite in the law where that function is defined and the purpose for including it.

BTW - aren't "flash suppressors" - "linear compensators" and "muzzle brakes" all "technical terms" - or did big bad government just make those up, as well?
They are and each has a specific function. BTW, only one of those was mentioned in the law but was applied to encompass the other two. Big Bad Government, like yourself, didn't know what it was talking about when that law was enacted.

I was unaware that our language was like French in that all of our definitions are a matter of law.
If a law referred to a 'car' as a road vehicle, typically with four wheels, powered by an internal combustion engine or electric motor and able to carry a small number of people, would you freak out and say that that is actually the definition of an 'automobile' and that there is in fact no such thing as a 'car'? I mean, after all, the word 'car' can be considered quite nebulous. What about 'truck'? Isn't that really a lorrie, whereas a 'truck' refers to an undercarriage with four to six wheels pivoted beneath the end of a railroad car?

A flash suppressor isn't a "cosmetic feature" regardless of what any law says. It serves a function.

They have a function? I thought you said they were COSMETIC? Do you know what the word means? Seriously, I can't argue with someone who insists on using the wrong definition for words.

The law clearly states a barrel that is threaded to accept a flash suppressor meets the definition - regardless of what the threads are actually used for.
Further, some linear compensators and muzzle brakes also act as flash suppressors. If it reduces the visual and auditory impact of the flash on the eyes and ears of the shooter - its a flash suppressor. Whether or not it does this can be objectively determined using digital photography and sound recording equipment.
