But isn't Avobenzone one of the generic filters categorized under the Tinsorb umbrella along with several other's?

I don't understand the question. Tinosorb is not the same as Avobenzone, there should be no category.

 

In google search for "what is Tinsorb?" this comes up as an immediate result. 

 

Tinosorb is the trade name of a number of UV absorbers

Yeah, but none of them is avobenzone. The result which comes up is this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinosorb

 

Though people usually refer to Tinosorb if they mean S or M.

Helioplex is stabilized avobenzone. In theory it sound similar, but the PPD that can be achieved with avobenzone alone is not really high and not sure exactly how stable it is. Might be fine if something else increases the PPD.
