>Reminder that the stated reason for the planet status being revoked from Pluto can be applied to Earth just as well
No it can't. "Clearing the neighborhood" is vague and arbitrary, but there is nothing in Earth's orbit that is not totally dominated by Earth's gravity, and any attempt to quantify what "clearing the neighborhood" means (several "objective" metrics have been proposed) will find the same result that the least dominant planet (Mars) is still several orders of magnitude greater than Pluto. Pluto's orbit is not governed by itself and the Sun, it is dominated by Neptune.
