Why is such an ambiguous term a group in the first place?

It's the official name for a group of games that share a certain approach / spirit.

So what differences between this and The Dark Descent make this fit the group, but The Dark Descent not fit the group?

The authors who decide they consider their game a "notgame" by having it listed there on that official site, it's not something we decide based on certain traits.

That proof link needs to be added to the gamegroup description.

It used to be available more openly through the official website, but they change the homepage about every day. Added now.
