I think in general the term innovation is perceived as something new that results in a meaningful improvement. Change for the sake of change that brings no real benefits fails to pass this bar.

For example, if someone released a new car model with exterior made of wood, it'd generate a lot of buzz, but unlikely to be considered an innovation.

A lot of Cybertruck features fall into this category of being novel, but not necessarily innovative.
