Yes, it's cooked but not cooked to mush as many people do
when cooking broccoli.  It's not raw, but a bit of resistance
when picked up with a fork.  It has a bit of chew and not
the consistency of baby food.

    to me that would be from frozen to just warmed up otherwise
mushy.  i would rather eat it raw, but can eat it even if
mushed, often it comes that way in soups.

You *can* cook (heat up) frozen broccoli florets to only tender-crisp. They don't cook it to death before flash freezing it.  When it comes to broccoli soup, I don't want the broccoli to be *crisp* but I also don't want it to be mushy.
Then again, there's this pureed broccoli soup recipe via Gordon Ramsay:
