When Steve Blank writes about how to run a startup, he's really writing about how to search for a viable business model, so he defines "startup" to refer to an organization that does that. The definition has mostly to do with the internal coherency of Steve Blank's writings; it's not especially useful to reapply that definition to somebody else's writings since you don't know what they mean by "startup".

Once you get past the semantics, I fail to see what substantive point you're making here.
