Shove is only blocked by the specific wording of Haste which is very different. Bear in mind Bladesingers can cantrip-attack using the same “rules logic” as a shove or grapple, so ruling they can’t cantrip with their Haste action must also mean no-one can shove or grapple with their haste action. Not at all.
Is grapple an attack or action?
The reason a grapple or shove doesn’t “count as an attack action” is that nothing counts as an attack action. You have the Attack action, which allows you to make attacks. These attacks aren’t themselves actions, nor do they constitute the Attack action.

It gives a really nice crowd control option for melee characters that doesn’t require the Sentinel feat.

Can you do a grapple and Shove in DND?
