I find it strange how focused many people are on women's breasts (at least in the culture's I'm familiar with), but society won't let me get away with calling that a fetish precisely because it is normalized.
Here is the first definition that pops when googling fetish definition:
"a form of sexual desire in which gratification is strongly linked to a particular object or activity or a part of the body other than the sexual organs."
Breasts are literally sexual organs, therefore it is not a fetish. Enhanced why many people like breasts. We are probably wired to like them.
Breasts are not a sex organ, at least in the sense of that definition (whatever definition you use for sex organ is fine with me). Sex organ in this sense refers to reproductive organs. Breasts aren't used in reproduction, but for feeding babies.
Many people have sexual feeling when their breasts are touched in certain ways, but this can also be achieved with other body parts that aren't used in reproduction.
Since you like quotes:
"A sex organ, also known as a reproductive organ, is a part of an organism that is involved in sexual reproduction. Sex organs constitute the primary sex characteristics of an organism. Sex organs are responsible for producing and transporting gametes, as well as facilitating fertilization and supporting the development and birth of offspring. Sex organs are found in many species of animals and plants, with their features varying depending on the species.
...
In animals (including humans), the male sex organs include the testicles, epididymides, and penis; the female sex organs include the clitoris, ovaries, oviducts, and vagina. The testicle in the male and the ovary in the female are called the primary sex organs.[1] All other sex-related organs are known as secondary sex organs. The outer parts are known as the genitals or external genitalia, visible at birth in both sexes,[1] while the inner parts are referred to as internal genitalia, which in both sexes, are always hidden.[2]
...
The primary sex organs are the gonads, a pair of internal sex organs, which diverge into testicles following male development or into ovaries following female development.[8] As primary sex organs, gonads generate reproductive gametes containing inheritable DNA. They also produce most of the primary hormones that affect sexual development, and regulate other sexual organs and sexually differentiated behaviors.
Secondary sex organs are the rest of the reproductive system, whether internal or external. The Latin term genitalia, sometimes anglicized as genitals, is used to describe the externally visible sex organs. "

Note that "secondary" is not referring to "secondary sexual characteristics" (non-reproductive traits to correlate on a sex basis), but ducts, glands, and things like that that aid in reproduction.
Anyway, I don't really want to get into a debate here. I am not criticizing anyone, while my own preferences are of the stigmatized, non-normalized type, so that would be an extremely high stress debate for me. You can nonetheless see that a large focus on breasts could be argued to fit your technical definition of a fetish, despite the fact that no one would describe it that way. The fact that you see the preference as biologically mandated shows the extent it's been normalized relative to other types of preferences.
