Exponential growth is when you multiply by a constant. The key is that hobbyists don't point out that there is not a constant multiplier over time...the multiplier quickly reduces over time.

embryonic cells peter out as fetus matures. Locusts haven't consumed the earth.

Exponential growth can be as little as .01%. It's the sustained nature.

R0 isn't an inherent feature of the virus. It depends on many factors.
