If it is suborbital it is not really a “spaceship”, is it?

It goes straight up into “space” then comes straight back down.

It’s sole purpose was for someone to say “I went to space”, like someone flying to europe can say “I flew to the North Pole”

Exceed 50 miles altitude and you get astronaut wings ... 8 of the X-15 pilots got astronaut wings for their X-15 flights.
