It doesn't really matter how wikipedia defines it, what matters is how governments and companies are going to behave, and how long it takes them to realize covid is here to stay.

It matters as words are useful for communication only if we can come to some agreement about what they mean.

What you're suggesting is that people accept that the cost of avoiding COVID and "flattening the curve" isn't worth it, and that we just let the curve do its thing. Hopefully the result that it will either become endemic or extinct, but neither of those are certain.
