I appreciate the grit but don't align with the definition. One could argue that you made 1 startup with several products and the most successful one would be what you pivot to.

yes, when i look at https://indiepa.ge/ for example, it lists people with 21 startups, 15 startups, 10 startups... it gave me a wierd feeling. it seems so out of place and unrealistic.

if instead it would say: 21 products, 15 products, 10 products... the list would look much more sensible.

Back in 2006, I knew a lot of people who used to call any webpage with a potential product a startup. There was one group I was associated with who did a biweekly "8hour startup" day. The idea was you'd come together for the day, form groups of 2-4 people and work on getting a finished website where you could sell something. Think a game jam equivalent for web devs/PMs. Was kind of fun. I did it once, though usually I was working on other things when these events were going on, and could rarely commit to the length of the events.
