That isn't making apple cider vinegar. That is making apple infused vinegar.

My grandfather made real apple cider vinegar from real apple cider (no sugar was added). Fermenting apples, water and sugar together should make apple wine, not vinegar.

The one study done for chickens and ACV is invalid because they made their supposed ACV by letting cut up apples sit in chemically produced acetic acid (vinegar).

If you don’t mind me asking, how do you make real apple cider vinegar? I’m not going to try it, I’m just curious.

Theoretically speaking apple cider already has alot of sugars in it so there would be no need to add additional sugar to it. The sugar is simply added to feed the wild yeast

Some wine, mostly white wine will turn into vinegar after it ages. Normally white wine will get better as it ages towards the 7 year mark. After 7 years, it's a rapid transition to vinegar.
Red wines will do it too, under the right conditions.

How do you introduce the wild yeast, or is it just "stuff in the air?" Or do you use a bit of already made ACV as a starter?

It is in the air.
I don't know about people who make vinegar, but wine and beer makers usually put yeast into what they are making.

It's the same as making a sourdough starter the wild yeast is in the air it. It works the same as the komucha I make it will produce a mother or scoby eventually
You can add a splash of organic acv to boost the process. I'm in no hurry tho I like the process of it all
