What differentiates a city from a village is legal status, not size. If size means population, there are cities with 400 inhabitants, villages with 30,000 inhabitants, and vice versa. It is not clear how this pertains to tests.

When unit test was coined, it referred to a test that is isolated from other tests. Integration tests are also isolated from other tests. There is no difference. Again, the post facto attempts to differentiate them all fall flat, pointing to things that have no relevance.

Fine. And legal status depends on location. There are many localities.

Yup, just like testing. Integration and unit tests depend on location as no two locations can agree on what the terms mean – because all definitions that attempt to differentiate them are ultimately nonsensical. At the end of the day they are the exact same thing.
