Shooting brake has been used for wagons with sloping roofs for years, just like coupe for 4 door sedans with similar roofs. Some examples: second gen Merc CLS wagon, CLA wagon, Kia's proceed wagon. There are some that stay true to the old definition like Aston's Zagato shooting break. If you really stretch it, Opel Astra G van is kind of a shooting break, and ig Honda's Aerodeck also fits.
In the end marketing will make anything meaningless if it results in more sales.
