Why isn't Shakespeare considered a fantasy writer?

I mean... Oberon, Titania and the other fairies in Midsummer, Hamlet's ghost dad, the three witches in Macbeth, the sorcerers/sprites/spirits in The Tempest... etc.

Fantasy is largely a post Tolkein phenomenon dominated by world building and things of that kind. People just don't put things taken from myth and fairy tale in the same basket.

By that logic then Homer, Dante, Kafka and all romantic and magic realism writers are automatically genre fiction kek
