I've generally heard the term used to refer to low-effort games that are basically just third-party assets packaged up and sold as a full experience, while having little to no "playable content". The availability of these assets could encourage this since they are freely available.

It's especially common to throw these together as "early access" games, pretending that they're still in development and will get deeper content at a later date.

Yeah, often it's ad-supported App Store / Google Play titles, where one developer uses the same engine with different assets to make many games and hope someone accidentally downloads them and clicks the ads.
