Superposition really is just a mathematical notation to predict how the qubits will behave. It’s arguably nomological not ontological. No one has ever in history measured or detected or observed a qubit to be in this “third state.” It’s always found to just have a bit value of 0 or 1. The mathematical book keeping is just a way to predict that 0 or 1 and doesn’t describe a third state.
but that bit is not only 1 or 0, which means that a qubit isn’t binary.
It is only a 0 or 1. A qubit has never been observed to be anything else.
True, but they have the third state of superposition giving them a total of 3 possible states; 0, 1 and both simultaneously

Nevertheless, the definition of a qubit is that is has those three states, meaning it technically isn’t binary.
