It's as simple as you want to make.
Yes everyone has a defensive responsibility, but the size of that responsibility is relevant to the position that they play. Similarily, everyone has a responsibility to contribute when we are attacking, but I wouldnt get hung up on the fact that the defenders aren't scoring or creating if they did their defensive jobs well.
In my opinion, what Dimaio gives the side in an attacking sense far outweigh what he lacks in defensive responsibilities for a number 10. Paul Scholes couldn't tackle, but what he gave in an attacking sense far outweighed that (not that I'm saying dimaio is paul scholes).
Ultimately, it's about adding value to the side and I think Dimaio does
