This sounds to me like we are not talking apples to apples.

I consider all shares that can be traded as float shares even if they are locked/held tightly, whatever you want to call it, by insiders, ihubbers, relation, etc.

Isn't this float definition more like a calculation of actual float shares minus closely held shares(I would call them locked) of the float shares?

They even say that at the right price, them shares may start to float.
Wouldn't that by definition make them float shares?

Sir, with all do respect you are wrong:
Not by the definition described in Investopedia

Difference Between Shares Outstanding and Floating Stock
Outstanding shares are all the shares of a public company that have been authorized and issued. ....

Contrary to outstanding shares, floating stock indicates the number of shares of a particular company that are available for trading. Shares that have been given or sold to owners of the company, members of the board of directors, or family members of company executives or board members are excluded from the float number, as these shares are typically restricted. The shares owned by business insiders are held for an extended period of time and do not trade often.

Restricted stock refers to the shares of a company that could only be traded in compliance within Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations. To calculate the number of shares available for trading, subtract restricted stock of a company from its total outstanding shares.
