I don’t know your background, but this reads like the mentality that gives a lot of “bro” workout communities a reputation for being irresponsible and injury prone.
Call it a handstand when you can do a handstand, and work your way up to it humbly. Your joints will thank you.

I don't think many people would call that a handstand. Or at least, if you do then the definition is so wide as to be useless. There's no balance at all involved for 1 sec, just luck.

Just kick up with the right amount of force and you’ll float for a few seconds. That can be achieved with luck.
Or you will fall down, or you hands would collapse and you'd plant you face into the ground. Not everybody has the same physical capabilities.
Yup, that's why it's possible within less than 30 days.

It’s not a skill if you can’t do it on command. I’m not sure why we need to lower the bar of success or dilute the skill so that more people can say they succeeded. This wouldn’t even be an argument if we were talking about someone standing on their feet.
It’s ok to not be good at everything.
I can still do a handstand, with difficulty, but I can do it. To be fair, it was always with difficulty, it takes a few tries.
I was 14/15 when I could do it.
