Default PSA: Don't be rude on the radio

Which does nothing to define what "final approach" is. If you are aligned
with the runway and intending to land does final begin 5 miles from the
threshold? 10 miles? 15 miles? 50 miles?


All of those. You're on final when you're aligned with the landing area.


So if airport A has a runway that is perfectly aligned to airport B
which is 100 miles distant and I fly directly from airport B to airport
A (into the wind so I'm landing on the appropriate runway without
turning), that means I'm on final the entire trip? Cool!
