It did seem that it could have been intended though, since those kind of jumps are very much a trend at the minute. Like when the 180 spin first got set last year. People have clearly been training that move (see Tomoa setting a similar move in that new video with Magnus), so I suppose it's no wonder their minds went towards a jump.
Not disputing that the spin was easier though, Meichi (I think it was him?) made it look quite straightforward.
