Everyone has a role in the SH crew.
Zoro has role of "fighter" - and swordmanship is the technique he use to fight.
No other crew member bar Luffy has primary role of being a fighter.
Zoro’s role is the swords man who is also a fighter like everyone in the crew, sanji fights, jimbe fights, franky fights, luffy’s fights everyone fights

It's not about "everyone in the crew equally fights". Nobody cares about Franky's 2 panel fight with a VA.
Zoro is the only other Strawhat not named Luffy whose fights and strength showings Oda actually gives a shit about. In every arc Zoro's in, he will give Zoro a notable fight and he will make Zoro look good.
No other Strawhat has that privilege but Luffy, and Oda's even willing to make Zoro look better than Luffy at times. This is because he's more willing to have Luffy look terrible throughout the arc, as by the end he'll look fantastic.
That is the problem luffy fights more than zoro so it makes no sense for zoro to called the fighter of the crew if he is not the strongest nor does he fight the most.
Imagine if Luffy did most of the cooking will you still consider sanji the cook of the crew.
To be the “something” of the crew you must be better than Luffy at that skill that is why Luffy said he can’t use a sword in arling park not I can’t fight
