I think on Steam games that take clear inspiration from Rogue (so top down, turn based, maybe ASCII based) are tagged Traditional Roguelikes. I personally like the Roguelike/Roguelite split you outlined but I can understand why people get confused by the names. I agree that permadeath + procedural generation is such an amazing mechanic combo that it needs to have its own name to easily be described when you present it into new base mechanics or game form.
