Someone did some surveys on r/anime pretty recently and its sort of shocking that some people consider Date-A-Live and Bakarina something other than a harem... and a few think Tsuki ga Kirei IS a harem...
I'm not talking about borderline cases, I'm talking about people specifically downplaying elements or obfuscating genres. Something like OreGairu is a good example of a series that more people than not would call a harem but fans sometimes get really offended if anyone calls it that.

Do you mean "true harem" in terms of polygamy?
I'm comparing to harems of like 5-15 years ago; people's expectations are different and you can't really do an open ending after 15 years of syndication nowadays. And stuff like SAO and Monogatari made it possible to be a harem while the MC was in a monogamous relationship.
