The OP made some interesting points, but the thing is "hack 'n slash" is a term of art. I imagine that many people in gaming use it without even thinking about the actual words. "Hack 'n slash" just has its own meaning when it comes to games, and that is a well established meaning from over 20+ years of games.

It also happens to be somewhat useful to people, so I don't see it changing or going away.
