Actually, wind in general has been portaited as havinf cutting ability, from Temati to Danzo to Naruto. Wind release having suddenly vanishing rasengan as well seems odd and unmatching. But what Boruto does to VR isn't the same as Naruto did. When Naruto trained nature transformation, he trained by making as much nature transformation change as he could (the point of the waterfall portion of the training), from the moment he starts making the jutsu (three shadow clones, so one can make the nature transformation as the jutsu is being formed). Boruto's nature transformation is happens suddenly, and subconsciously. It doesn't even look like Lightning Release. It probably has less LR in it than Konohamaru's WR Rasengan has WR, which also didn't have much cutting effect at all.
