Why is Ayn Rand's Objectivism not classified as an actual ideology or at least a pseudo-ideology?
Because it's the exact opposite of Soviet communism as practised when she lived in the USSR. It seems to have good advice, because doing the opposite of the Soviets is good advice in general, but it doesn't hold together as consistent; each policy is merely based on being different from the Soviet equivalent, not on any underlying philosophy.

Can we agree that USSR's greatest atrocity was letting Ayn Rand get an education?
Because they're just the fictionalized ramblings of a horny madwoman with a flimsy understanding of human nature?
Being anti-Soviet doesn't make one correct. "The enemy of my enemy" might work in politics, but it has no place in the arena of ideas.
