I deleted most of my comment because what i had written was basically nonsense.
The main point that i was going for is that "action adventure" isn't a useless category, since it's a hybrid of two separate genres.
You can have non-action adventure games. Something like A Short Hike comes to mind. It didn't need to turn/text based explicitly, but that's common.
You can also have action non-adventure games. You mentioned pong, but this could be anything that requires real time responses and control. Beat-em-ups are common.
Action-Adventures are hybrids of the two: real time inputs with discovery elements
