If you are talking about the Berlin definition, that was decided by the roguelike dev community for their own use in discussions.
The more points of the definition, the more roguelike. Roguelites are games with fewer of the criteria fulfilled.
It's really not a matter of gatekeeping and more a question of having a definition to stop endless discussions in the roguelikedev community on that same subject.
