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.
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.
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.
