It is clear that shorting calls is "riskier" than shorting puts (all other things equal). Why is not actually riskier?

I do agree that short puts is a better long term play, on account of stocks only go up, but it’s short term riskier.
“Short puts or short calls” is kind of a dumb argument anyway because you never actually have to choose between two options in isolation — you have a portfolio, different risk preferences, it depends on the vol surface and maturity, etc etc. ANYWAY.

It is very hard to have a reasonable conversation about options on the internet. You can argue many things here. Naked shorting pre-approval-announcement biotech calls looks different to overwriting SPY.
