I see survival games in the list but I don't see any "MMO".
Too much emphasis on the definition of MMO at this point. A 1000 people have their own wonderful definitions and won't be budged from them. By now, I think we understand from context that they're referring to Survival games. It's much easier to go by the spirit of the law than the letter of the law than to constantly point out the 'MMO' in every article, post, opinion...
The gaming community and this site do that a lot. Same with the terms "alpha", "beta", and "release". All used so loosely that they have lost the real meaning they used to have.
So why did they call them MMO's if the word has no real meaning anymore?
Realities of definitions for some words change over time. A website with a community such as this, in an age where 'feel' is more important than 'definition'. Look at past topics of a 'battle of definition' nature. I feel that MMOs are this, I feel that they should be ....... How can anyone keep up? This isn't unique to the gaming community. It's pervasive in our culture at the moment.
I'm a person who likes definition and have had to pull back on my defense on many platforms because people aren't interested in it. Feeling trumps it. So now, I just look at the spirit of the law, as opposed to the letter of the law. I understand what the topic is about, as well as I think that most others do. At the moment, it's a losing proposition to debate the use of the terms because most don't agree on them. A more relaxed attitude saves a bunch of 'triggering' debates. I don't get triggered, but people these days seem to relish being triggered.
The only thing necessary for evil (my feelings mean more than reality) to triumph in the world is that good men (rational people) do nothing (accept the narcissism and not stand up for the reality of truth and actual meanings).

Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising everytime we fall.
