I'm going to agree this isn't over fitting. And it's dangerous to imply over fitting is ever a good thing.

If your objective function is to ID one type of Batman, you just have a very specific objective function which could also suffer from over fitting (i.e. it's unable to perform well against out of sample Batman of the same type).

The reason I push back is that many healthcare models are micromodels by your definition: they may only seek to perform well on images from one machine at a single provider location on a single outcome, but they also have over fitting issues from time to time since the training data isn't diverse enough for the hyper specific objective.
