To me the client's experience is what matters, not therapists' definitions of abandonment, which exist to protect them from legal trouble, and to help them avoid seeing what they do to people.
The problem with trying to distinguish abandonment from an ethical and healthy ending is that this exposes all the contrivances and bizarre assumptions that underlie the relationship, including the fact that a human being's suffering has been handled like a commodity and harvested for profit (in my opinion). So things get confusing.
