That's a very odd application of has().

The has() function is clearly intended to indicate presence or
absence of some feature that is compiled in, or in the case of
"gui_running", available only under certain unchanging conditions.
I would never think to look among features for a flag indicating the
startup state.  Even Bram did not find it.

Proper linking in the help should be enough?

It's probably too late to change it, but I think it would make more
sense to expose that state as a variable such as v:vim_starting or
v:vim_did_enter or as a function such as vim_starting().

It has been there for a long time (Vim 5.7 or earlier).

There are other "dynamic" items:
   has("multi_byte_encoding")
   has("syntax_items")
   ...
