When a pitch moves significantly more in the last 25% of the time of flight than it does in the previous 75%, what is that if not a late break? More break?

While I love those guys at NASA that graph is a little misleading. Here is an actual MLB pitcher and his pitches. To me the slider is late break (small break and has the similar path as the fastball at the beginning of the pitch. The curveball is just a breaking pitch. It has it's own path.
All of the pitches are always "breaking" the entire time of the pitch.
