Yes it is, didn't Einstein say that gravity and acceleration are indistinguishable

The whole microgravity thing is pedantic, yes tidal forces exist, but at human scales they are not detectable.

In free-fall, the object is primarily being accelerated by gravity.

Yes but this is indistinguishable from the perspective of the falling object.
