That's vocal trance with a buzzing synth. Having a buzzing synth doesn't automatically make a track "electro," just like having a 303 line doesn't automatically make a song "acid house."

well, if ibiza trance became a subgenre, i don't see why electro trance couldn't become one

According to your criteria maybe. According to his own subjective criteria it is though. Since there are no objective "genre" classification guides you are both right. Genres are extremely ill-defined. Since "electro's" definition is extremely vague, it can easily be assigned to a track.
Apeing one element (buzzing synths) of another style doesn't mean that a new genre has to be spawned. Trance with an organ isn't "trance church music," it's just trance with an organ. Prog house with a guitar isn't "rock prog house," it's just prog house with a guitar.
But yeah, it is "all subjective" in the end, so let's just call everything "rap."

What would you call it? It has that basic "chorus - verse" structure, and it's certainly not trance.

Electrohouse doesn't have anything in common with the real electro from back in the days, yet it's name is accepted.

In the end of the day its all EDM. It is all made in the same way, using similar synths and stuff. If its good its good. Why fight so hard about what constitutes a specific genre? Is it something like a teenage fan-boy thing? "the trance-cyber-kids", "the electro-trenddies" etc. etc. etc.? I find it a bit stupid.
