That's not a matter of opinion.  They are defined by Unicode as three
different abstract characters..  The Unicode standard can make distinctions
that it previously did not, so the number of abstract characters can grow
(and Coptic A used to be folded in with the Greek A instead of separate),
but at any given point in the timeline of the standard it is a well-defined
set.
