That’s a different kind of use for hyphen though. The use of hyphen that I’m talking about is actually flexible, used as-needed to turn any given multiple words into a single adjective, adverb, noun, etc.
Also, never get your English punctuation (or other) patterns from JRPGs, nor from popular usage on the internet. I’m not saying literacy is lowering, but I will say that people with poor literacy use the internet more than ever, and bad patterns emerge.
Hyphens tend to drop over time. When’s the last time you saw someone refer to “e-mail”?
