reasonable post.
language changes over time, that's fine. but my worry with 'OSR' is that its meaning might deflate or broaden like so many music genres, fashion styles, subcultures, memes...
i've flipped through neon artsy books and i've been told they're OSR. i've seen board games that have black-and-white line art, so those are OSR. dungeon synth music... a bit OSR, isn't it?
my personal bias would be towards the 'this thread' version you gave. i don't play many vidya, but look at how 'roguelikes' are no longer e.g. NetHack, but Slay the Spire. (or i guess 'roguelite') shared features, sure, but damn did that term get bastardised.
