D&D 5E - bards and instruments

Or rather (getting to the point finally) shouldn't the bard rules say:

You can use a musical instrument (found in chapter 5)
as a spellcasting focus for your bard spells. Using a musical instrument with both hands and/or your mouth can replace the somatic and verbal component of the spell.

...or something to that effect?
