if that's the case how come I'm 424 elo but I beat a 2200 master from the bots?
Online I’d say 1400 is considered good

you are always a bad players, all players are inherently bad, cause nobody plays their own chess, all look at the computer lines or some gotham video, which is just computer lines with some screaming, and you try to emulate that, chess is dead, computers won and there is no human part of it left, except for blunders
People are getting confused with Worst, bad, good, and perfect.
A very subjective question.
Probably better to look at the percentile, surely if you're in the top third then it would be fair to say you are "no longer a bad player"
No doubt many would disagree.

The issue is chess.com is curved towards beginners more than lichess and otb obviously is skewed towards higher ranked players

it depends who you compare yourself to!
even magnus carlsen is a bad player if you compare him to an engine.
Where did My posy go
Only thing that matters is that you don’t have blunders, mistakes, and misses in most games then you’re pretty good.

"Blunders, mistakes, and misses" are not even a real thing. Those are only used by chess.com for their dumb "Game review".
Also, every chess player makes mistakes in almost every game. Very very occasionally some masters play a perfect game, but that's incredibly rare.

I think a player constantly trying to improve is good, but I would not say that others are bad for being stuck at an Elo or not playing chess.
"If 90% of all players on chess.com are bad players, which seems to be a reasonable guess,"
"Bad" is a subjective description. To say that 90% of all players on chess.com seems very harsh, but it all depends what you are comparing them to.
I like to think that I am not a bad player but I definitely have days when I am.
