If the game is a planned 7 inning game, and he doesn’t allow any hits over those 7 innings, that should be a no hitter. I get that it sucks for the Dave Steibs of the world (even though he finally got one) but it is what it is. You could make the same argument against records achieved over the final 8 games of a season (162 vs 154) or any compiled playoff record since the addition of the WC. Not exactly the same thing but the structure of the argument is the same. If you’re going to make 7 inning games an official thing, any achievement in that game should be an official thing. Put an asterisk on it if you must. Just my opinion.
