The argument I'm making here is that the genre has expanded to include a lot of stuff that isn't carbon-copies of Rogue, and that we should come up with a new name for that. If you want to then use the name "Roguelike" to mean "games identical to Rogue" then have at it.

That sounds great, but it's not the genre that's misnamed; It's the games that aren't like Rogue that are miscategorized. What you've said is that the genre has a problem and should be renamed. It's not the genre's problem that some people can't categorize their games properly.
