My takeaway is that it's only original Rogue fans that care about the delineation of the terms. Is there a modern (i.e. post 2000s game) that matches the definition of a roguelike as given in the article?

Language changes & everything, so it's not super important imo...However, what I do think is important is that given the flexibility of language, some better term for these kinds of games emerges.

I dunno what that term may be, only that I'd hope it may be more telling than the current ones. Imagine if first-person shooters kept being called Doomlikes for decades after Doom came out. It'd be awkward & stifling!
