Thrust bearings seem a lot more likely in my mind. They can and will make all kinds of noise with the crank walking back and forth. I guess that internet diagnoses also depends on the direction of the play, if it’s in and out thrust bearing is my bet, up and down... not as likely to be the thrust...

it definitely is easily movable up and down sadly
