"opto" Esc are not opto isolated , or yes ?

I have bought several Esc that were supposed to be opto isolated (ZTW 20A, RC Timer 30A) , all without a Bec.

But when I checked with a multimeter the ground supply and the ground signal that goes to the receiver/APM,  were in common.

So how can these Esc be opto isolated ?

In my knowledge,  an opto isolated device has no electrical connection between the logic/signal side and the power side, or I'm I wrong  ?
