No, as the term was coined because it was the first (serious attempt to) overthrow of a particular batch of dictators who had ruled nearly unopposed for half a century. That is the significance of the Arab spring, it changed the rules. Now an Arab dictator can be overthrown. Just like the French revolution isn't important because it brought about "Freedom for EveryoneTM"(it most certainly didn't), but because it changed the rules by showing that a population can overthrow and chop the heads off of Kings.

It is truly unsurprising that such insights are lost on you.
