Exactly, I remember that while studying GDPR an example for legitimate interest was a company that self-advertises to you: I get your email from the purchase you just made because I have legitimate interest in continuing my business and I want to be able to advertise myself to you again to survive in the market. But trust me, I’ll just use it for the legitimate interest!
Like in every language terms evolve and it’s basically outside of personal preferences. Original definitions and where the term came from are basically optional info.
This are terms that are used for one main purpose: categorize so it’s easier to search that term instead of “games like x”. And for that purpose, roguelike as in “no progression between runs” and roguelite as in “some unlockable stuff” works wonders.
