True. However
good white chocolate can be very good, and does taste like a mild chocolate.
Much of what you'll see labeled as white chocolate is actually white coating (fat, sugar and vanilla) and you are correct it has no relationship at all to chocolate.
Good white chocolate is made with a healthy portion of cocoa butter. This is still technically not chocolate since it is not made from the
solids of the cocoa bean, but is the liquid obtained from the bean.
The result tastes and smells like a mild chocolate. If it doesn't smell like chocolate, then what you have is white coating.
