doesnt matter what subjective opinions are.
shipped is not pushing something on github.

Many very well made software written without any AI was never "shipped" because there were no people who wanted to pay for it, many very poorly made software was shipped because demand and marketing did the job.
So evaluating software by "shipped or not" is just useless.
My definition would be "users waiting for it who received it"; that's the one that fits the broadest real world definition of the word. Not everything is an organisation, not everyone is paying.
