Here's the original Vulcan version of the forehead boop:

Can't believe NuTrek got rid of that. D:

Actually, the one you linked is a vulcan kiss, not a forehead bump.
It's the equivalent of our holding hands because even though vulcans kiss on the lips, that finger gesture is the pda allowed for married couples.

Spock's forehead boop with her is tender and sweet.
I can see the vulcans doing that, maybe because of all that emphasis they put on the head and the way they bond with their mate through a mental link. It might as well be another kind of vulcan bonding gesture altogether.

That is all the more intimate when he does that. All that vulnerability when his lips tremble as he reassures her 'I will be back' when he is scared that he will, in fact, die. I always knew that Spock was, deep down, a sweet guy.

Spock's a half human boy with le feels, let him be.

I think that the fandom's consensus is that the Sarek/Amanda thing is a vulcan kiss.
Nevertheless, you're both wrong because Leonard Nimoy explained the origin of the 'two fingers to two fingers' gesture as that being the vulcan equivalent of a married couple HOLDING HANDS in public:

Nimoy: "The question came up as to what public sign of affection, if any, Sarek and his human wife would display. Handholding was clearly out, but perhaps finger-to-finger contact of a ceremonial, dignified nature might work…
Mark and Jane [Wyatt] took my comments to heart, and came up with the wonderful gesture where Amanda rests her first two fingers lightly upon Sarek’s two fingers. It worked beautifully, and added to the texture of one of the series’ best episodes.“

Different displays of affection are not mutually exclusive, and just because the nutrek writers thought that it made more sense for their characters to express their affection with one gesture instead of the one from your link, it doesn't mean that they 'got rid' of the latter or cancelled it from canon.
