??? This isn’t true unless I misunderstood you. There are frequentist decision rules as well as Bayesian ones (minimax is one common such rule, though there are others as well).
In what sense is minimax frequentist?
From Wikipedia:
Consider the problem of estimating a deterministic (not Bayesian) parameter...
ETA: While that page talks about estimating parameters, most of the math holds for more general actions as well.
I don’t think that “non-bayesian” is a common definition of “frequentist.” In any event, it’s not a useful category.
