In microwave LNA design there are no lumped inductors. They use in general only microstrip inductors.
Even at low frequencies some MMIC amplifiers are inductor free. Here is an example.
You can call whatever you want.
As an example, in a 6dB noise figure receiver if you add at the front-end a MMIC with 3.5dB NF and 20dB of gain, the total system noise figure become 3.6dB (1.4dB improvement).
