Plot Holes are those gaps in a story where things happen without a logical reason. When a Plot Hole involves something essential to a story’s outcome, it can hurt the believability, for those who are bothered by such things. Hitting a Plot Hole at high speed can damage your Willing Suspension of Disbelief.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plot_hole

In fiction, a plot hole, plothole or plot error is a gap or inconsistency in a storyline that goes against the flow of logic established by the story’s plot. Such inconsistencies include such things as illogical or impossible events, and statements or events that contradict earlier events in the storyline.

So that you actually know what a plot hole is.

So these definitions include “without logical reason”, “gaps in a story”, “hurt the believability”, “damage your Willing Suspension of Disbelief”, “illogical or impossible events”, and “for those who are bothered by such things”. Those are all subjective interpretations of the material. In other words, they are based on the opinion of the viewer. Those two scenes make no logical sense to me, disrupt the flow of the story, and disrupt my immersion in the story. While the definition you provide have very specific criteria, how to apply it is up to the viewer, not some committee. Therefore they are plot holes.
