It gets thrown around a lot as a buzzword, but it really just means "intended to get post-release updates that go beyond bug fixes." Nearly every game released these days, good or not, classifies as GaaS. It's functionally meaningless.

Exactly this. It's so expected these days that I think it's a mistake to use the term, as you alluded. It does more harm than good I think.
