The phrase "is a" is in no way mutually exclusive with "subclass of".
"Is a" is ambiguous -- it can mean the subject is either a class or an
instance.  In other words, "is a" can mean either /instance of/ (P31) or
/subclass of/ (P279).

Indeed. Alas, some languages on Wikidata use the literal translation of "is a" as a label for "instance of". German is among them.
