These are considered a plate but a 2x2 modified is considered a tile which is
odd.
I haven't even gotten to those yet, I've got a 6 qt bin full of all that
that needs sorted by color and put in storage.
Ran across 2460 just now though that's considered a tile. At the moment
all four of these are in the same bin under Tile 2x2 so I may as well just keep
everything how it is.
Yeah, this has been discussed many times and in lots of cases there are good
reasons to go either way. I was discussing this with a good friend just last
week and even she and I had come to different conclusions on how we organize
our parts.
I think we can get some insight into what LEGO thinks is a tile, though. I suspect
that if a part has has a groove, they view it as a tile, figuring there aren’t
enough studs on the surface to get good clutch with the business-end of a brick
separator. The back end of the separator is well-designed to get under the grooved
edges when there are no studs to grab.
I’m sure someone will find some counterexamples to this theory.

You're not helping, LOL. I was genuinely curious if it had to do with the
groove, but that's ruled out with my examples. I'm trying to do a deep
dive in to all this and don't know if some of this based on rules or whimsy.
