No, the Schwarzschild metric IS the metric. There is no such thing as
Schwarzschild metric in a coordinate system with a metric.


Mathematically, you are just wrong. For example, describing flat
spacetime using the linear rectangular (Euclidean) and using the
spherically symmetric polar coordinate systems require you to supply
different metric for each choice of coordinate system. shrug

I think you are pounding on a non-issue. The real issue is a more
important one: in the limit the Schwarzschild metric reduc es to
Minkowski spacetime, which is gravity free. Yet, in physical reality
there is gravity is such limit.


Hmmm... You are very confused.

Thus, the solution is empirically falsified.
