Now you're arguing about Boruto's character in general. You're targeting his personality and morals. When people refer to someone as a prodigy, they're talking about their abilities. And Boruto has proven time and time again that his abilities are far greater than that of average Genin; Ergo, he's a prodigy.

Neji was a jerk who believed that anyone who was a loser couldn't change their lot in life.

Gaara was a psychotic murderer.

Orochimaru inhumanely experimented on people for his own personal gain.

You don't define a prodigy on their personality. If they're very talented, then they're a prodigy.

Also, you can't exactly judge Boruto because you've never been in his shoes. He's just a kid. Kids make mistakes. He cheated on an exam, which is something almost all students can say they've done. It doesn't downplay everything he legitimately managed with his own power.
