Feudalism is more than just concentrated property ownership. It’s primarily about people being bound by law to provide labor and resources to their feudal lord.

Sure.

But half a pie in the fridge is a bit of pie, it doesn't matter that the whole thing isn't there anymore.

Concentrated ownership of property is not a specific feature of feudalism. It is something which obtains in basically any large scale society which is non-communal.
