The tags explains it a lot. I do not agree with the users or developers giving this tag to those "random" games. Most of these are not Hero Shooters in my book.

Every one of those work on Linux, I’m literally in comp queue in Rivals right now.

Me too. I type while waiting for matches. These games were just mentioned as an example what I understand as Hero Shooter. And we don't have many to choose from. I didn't say they don't work, i played each of them for hundreds and thousands of hours.

Hero Shooter is starting to become like 'rogue-like' where it doesn't mean much.

Deeprock Galactic also works great, if you're into PvE shooters

I noticed, that's why I gave some examples to what "I" understand under that term. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll open a tab and look at Deeprock Galactic. I know the name of the game, but never looked how it functions.
