I've always thought of Disco as western but it feels bizarre to classify a game about communism made by people form a former soviet state "western".
I think JRPG and scope creep is completely fair too, but once in a while you get some innovative and fun systems out of it. Which I prefer to stagnant gameplay.

I guess it's kinda like the debate about whether champagne is still champagne if it's not made in the Champagne region of France. Imo it depends on the context you're talking about. If you're trying to specifically ascertain where a sparkling wine was made, then no, non Champagne sparkling wine is not champagne. However, if you're just talking about the characteristics of the sparkling wine, then a lot of non-Champagne sparkling wine is basically identical for all practical purposes.
JRPG and Western RPG are just shorthands to group certain types of games together based on shared characteristics. It's entirely possible for a "Western" dev to make a JRPG style game and vice versa.
In that context, I think Disco can be regarded as a "Western" RPG but not a close fit into the overall archetype.
Nah, I've always associated eastern Europeans with being really into WRPGs. Eastern Europeans have created two massive Fallout mods and not the 3d Fallouts, but Fallout 2 lol:
In this context western says more about the gameplay systems. I haven't played Disco Elysium but I believe you have skills and there are chances of doing things successfully or failing and stuff like that

The name of the genre used to be CRPG, where C stands for computer. I believe the name changed some time during the 00s.
