Semi-permanency is not a defining feature of roguelikes, in most of them every run starts from scratch.

That’s why he said roguelite. Semipermanency (being able to unlock upgrades for future runs) is what separates the roguelite from a roguelike. In a roguelike, every run you start from 0, in a roguelite you unlock things that make differences in future runs (in the case of balatro: different decks, new jokers, …)

Examples:
Hades is a roguelite.
Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a roguelike.

No, rouge is the stuff that ladies put on their cheeks. You mean rogue, as in wildcard, untameable, privateer.
