you're just confused, so I'll say it again.
Definition of civil war
: a war between groups of people in the same country
by that definition, they did have a real civil war since they were having an armed conflict against each other, contrary to what you're saying that it's not a real civil war because of muh missing ideologies or whatever. but as far as the film is concerned, Tony's revenge and Cap fighting for his friend is the film's actual Civil War.
we know this.
I don't think your complaint of "civil wars should always be about muh ideologies" isn't really valid because it didn't affect the quality of the movie. and I think it's incorrect too since Captain America did stand by his ideologies of Freedom and Liberty. he was against the Accords, and he helped Bucky after Zelmut revealed his hand to him. Tony Stark was more driven by guilt, but he nevertheless still believes that the Accords were the right thing to do, that they must submit to a higher authority for the good of all.
