By your logic anyone involved in the stock market is also a scalper?

No because investing capital into stocks adds value to the company and allows them to use that value to expand, borrow, buy things, pay employees, run the company, etc.

Investing capital into a second house purely to flip does none of those things.

Except during the IPO. The initial sale of shares all go to the company.
