What do you think a chord is?  It is just notes at the same point in
time in the same voice.

Why wouldn't it be a chord?

Multiple ties _outside_ the chord at the same time are too much.

Articulations and ties not written _inside_ of a chord do not belong to
"single notes".  They belong to a moment in time.

Perhaps try understanding it then.  If you want more than juxtaposition
of stuff happening at the same point of time, don't use << >> but try
employing \partcombine.  \partcombine will do things like combine
