People arguing in favor of it in this thread pretend that they know the "rules" for how the label works

We aren't pretending. The term RPG was literally derived from games which had core mechanics developed from D&D and other pen and paper games. This is indisputable, historical fact. The people who are acting like RPG is some kind of post-modernist definition that is up to subjective interpretation are, ironically, the ones who actually have no idea what they are talking about... and will just continue to refuse to accept it no matter how many times they are told.

but no one actually follows any guidelines. Genres are marketing tools now and nothing more.

The only reason you have the luxury of believing this is pure ignorance. you don't know the definition of what an RPG is, and so you purport that no one could possibly know the defintion.
