This is still good though as a Master Propio serves an identical purpose in Spain as an unaccredited but legal (state-approved) Masters degree does here in the USA. You can still get jobs in industry with non-accredited degrees but are restricted from most government and academic jobs.
I guess Dumber hates me and won't answer, lol, so we'll have to leave it up to a reasonable assumption.
I'm still shaky on direct comparisons of propios to state-approved unaccredited U.S. master's degrees because accredited universities in Spain do offer propio degrees:

I think they can only be compared based on their purpose. Non-accredited degrees excluding diploma mills have their limitations but they are still legal. The major difference in structure of the propio vs unaccredited is that accredited schools issuing a degree that is unofficial automatically makes it legal in Spain. In the US, a degree is automatically official even if the school is unaccredited provided the school is state approved and legally operating.
ENEB by itself is unaccredited so the degrees will automatically be unaccredited. Also, while the evaluation from WES does not reference Universidad Isabel I, they may have taken it into consideration by framing the evaluation as a legal Masters degree though non-accredited based on the Universidad Isabel I certification as well as the reputation of the school. Otherwise, they would not recognize ENEB for an evaluation.
Just making assumptions but I think my analysis is on point.
