Do strawberries in Celeste Classic (Pico-8) count toward the level strawberries?
There's several strawberries that can be collected in the hidden mini-game Celeste Classic on the Pico-8 terminal.
Does collecting all of them count toward the level strawberry count? Or is the mini-game completely irrelevant to the game stats except for Xbox/PS4 achievements?
I'm playing on a Switch, so it feels like a lot of work for no actual reward (except the personal satisfaction of getting to the summit).

The strawberries inside the PICO-8 mini-game don't count for any achievement. And for that matter, the game might not even keep track of how many you collect.
So the PICO-8 mini-game is irrelevant to your global number of strawberries. Beating it only counts for its own achievement of beating it. (Note: the achievements are only on PlayStation, Xbox and PC, but not Switch that has no achievements as of February 2022).
