Sure, but it's still passive income. Being a landlord is not the only way of having a passive income. And I'm criticizing the way it's defined.

You choose to ignore the key point of the comment. I also listed apps/games. Technically, I may choose not to maintain the API. It might not remain relevant or profitable for very long, but I can just ignore it.

Besides, being a landlord also requires constant maintenance. It's just that the income is arguably disproportionate to the work done.

I don't think that's a fair or accurate definition. If I programmed a paid piece of software*, or a paid API, that I don't intent to upgrade much, that's passive income, which is earned.
