Imagine my surprise when 98% of all people I've ever seen claim to like hiking meant at most a hour or two walk up a hill, versus something that could take over a day with several thousand foot elevation changes.

Really soured me on that category.

Honestly, I love hiking. My family does maybe a dozen or so hikes per year - and every hike is under six hours, often under four. Perhaps we need a different word for the two activities.

I would say what you do is hiking and anything that takes over a day is “backpacking”. Then you can get into “urban” vs “backcountry”/“remote”/“wilderness”.

If it takes over a day then its backpacking, not hiking. At least that's how I and most people colloquially understand the two.

Anything over a day is not "hiking", that's "backpacking", as another poster said.

There's a reason that outdoor boots are divided into "hiking boots" and "backpacking boots". The two are significantly different.
