I just have my head in my hands over the idea that Spelunky is "only a platformer, shut up about your meme genres, there is absolutely nothing worth interrogating about whether or not this game might have anything in common with roguelikes" like any game that behaves like a platformer is just a platformer no matter what it is while roguelikes have this complicated checklist of things - it's so dumb

also having to lie about Crypt of the Necrodancer's attributes because it would have landed under "Roguelike" in your tree otherwise and that wasn't convenient to you, lol (there are aspects of the Berlin Interpretation that would make Necrodancer not a roguelike (no resource management, time pressure for most characters), but they weren't included in any of the definitions in this chart, they just fucked up and said it wasn't tile-based/turn-based which it is)
