I mean, let’s crunch the numbers: the final velocity was 24,124 km/hr and LEO orbital speed is about 28,000 km/hr. Contrary to what you claim, it did in fact leave the atmosphere at an altitude of ~148km. That means that this iteration of Starship was 86% of the way to its destination. It made it through max q and stage separation, which are generally considered the most dangerous parts of flight.

Yeah, they were damn close.
