I would be interested in anyone's thoughts that hiki-waza is not "real sword" technique.

I think hiki-waza could be a perfectly legit "real sword" technique, but it would look somewhat different than shinai hiki-waza. From tsuba-zeriai, you could use the tsuba-to-tsuba point as a fulcrum to inflict a cut on your opponent. It may not be fatal, but it could certainly do enough damage to give you an opportunity for the coup de grace.
