What is it that makes Naruto's Wind Style Rasengan a Rasengan, when the exact same thing scaled up is a Rasenshuriken, a completely different jutsu?

You can add wind release unintentionally because wind release is made by grinding two charkas together. The Rasengan is a ball of chakra rotating in multiple directions, meaning the grinding effect is likely to occur. Boruto possibly spins the chakra a bit differently than Naruto. He already knew wind release, so it's possible he either misunderstood the instructions and added wind release into the design, or muscle memory made him create wind release.

Also note that Naruto first made the rasengan, then added wind release. Boruto did it simultaneously, which is probably also why it was so small since the difficulty was much higher (and the "power" phase was missing). This also means Boruto completed 3 of the 4 steps like Naruto with the original (Spin/Power/Compacting versus Spin/Power/Wind).
