Your 100uH coil above exhibits 60 degrees of phase shift

That does NOT say the coil replaces 60 degrees of wire in the antenna.
One who thinks such is mistaken. The phase shift in the coil is what it
is. It usually does NOT correspond to the phase shift of the wire it
replaces.
The point of that statement was that real world phase shift is never zero.
The one-way phase shift is known to be 90 degrees at the self-resonant
frequency.

When the speculation is that the coil presents a 1:1 replacement for
the delay of the "missing" segment of the resonant antenna, then this
premise stumbles at the starting blocks.

Nobody said anything about a 1:1 replacement. That was just
somebody's strawman.

We all know who "somebody" is. [threadbuster #4]

But if this is news to you, it must have been one of your other
personalities (Hokum's Razor?) at the keyboard who posted the message
at the top.

Some people have misunderstood the meaning of that statement. See above.
So many jumping to conclusions - so few trying to understand.
