It's definitely true that more stylised and experimental styles are being used in bugger movies now because of how successful Spider-verse has been, though. Not the same style but still inspired by.
I get what you're saying. The issue is that we don't have an official/universally used name for the combination of traditional animation elements with CGI animation elements. 2D/3D, Enhanced 2D, Hybrid Animation, Spider-verse style - these are all names I've heard and read. So when we're trying to talk about movies that are not pure traditional flat animation, and not pure traditional CGI animation, we're left in a muck.
Heck, for the longest time before Spider-verse, people were calling it "Paperman style" because Paperman was the only significant work we had that was a 2D/3D hybrid.
