I feel a lot of people's hate for roguelikes come from only playing modern interpretations that have little to offer besides victory / defeat.
Even Hades relies on narrative & meta progression to make "bad RNG" tolerable. Meanwhile, it's legit fun to die in weird ways in Caves of Cud, ToME4 or DCSS

Since people are asking for traditional roguelike recommendations, here's mine:
-Dungeons of Dredmor: lighthearted intro to the genre
-One Way Heroics: Also a lighthearted intro but from Japan
-DCSS: Free, complex & beginner friendly
-ToME: My favorite, has great combat, secrets & difficulty options

The most common modern usage: 'roguelite' emphasizes permanent upgrades via metaprogression, while 'roguelike' still tends to focus on progression via knowledge (be it the arcane workings of Noita or complex strategy of Slice & Dice).
I use 'Traditional Roguelike' for ADOM/DCSS/Dredmor/etc.
