I just saw a video from the ISS of hurricane Milton and the storm wasn’t spinning at all, not even I tiny bit near the eye.

because its huge!
think of the earth, from space you cant see it spin, but the equator is moving 1000 mph.
even at the eye, wind speed is only 180mph, and while I couldnt find the exact number, the eye is larger than 40 miles in diameter. at that size and speed, if you watched it for an hour, you might see it rotate 1 or 2 times. 1 or 2 rotations per hour is so much slower than anything you can see moving
