My takeaway is that it's only original Rogue fans that care about the delineation of the terms. Is there a modern (i.e. post 2000s game) that matches the definition of a roguelike as given in the article?

Likes are a pretty strictly defined genre. Lites on the other hand can be almost any genre. You could categorize both as "Run based games" but that leaves you with a very vague definition that says almost nothing about a game except that it´s ... run based.
