No, its even more fundamental than that: the entire goal of broad reasoning over input data makes it impossible to have a sharp instruction/data division.
The structured input that every modern chat-focussed model expects makes it very clear that they can be trained to distinguish different kinds of input, and some of those patterns now include different priority levels of instruction.
