I understand your complaint. The more the term is used, the more constraints are put on it and the more concretely defined it becomes.
But wouldn't the idea of DiPP taking place in Gensokyo, the place, make both better from that perspective? DiPP has the same air and influences, and a similar aesthetic to the later games, with certain influences from the earlier games, but is distinctly different and self-contained.
Assuming it takes place in the same world as the games makes Gensokyo seem broader. It becomes a larger world, with hidden mansions where serial murders take place and blonde shine maidens and whatnot. It's no longer just Reimu and Marisa's playground, but a place where many parallel stories could, and probably do, take place.
If anything, just by how thematically divergent DiPP is from the rest of Touhou, it loosens the aforementioned constraints, at least from my perspective.
