In older literature, such as the original work of Bousfield–Kan \cite{BousfieldKan}, the homotopy limit of a diagram X:I→sSet is defined as the weighted limit
hom(I/−,X),where the weight I/− sends i↦N(I/i), the nerve of the comma category of i.
Such a functor must be derived in order to get the correct (homotopy invariant) notion, which in this case amounts to replacing X with an objectwise weakly equivalent diagram valued in Kan complexes.
At some point (when?) a shift in terminology happened, and in the modern parlance homotopy limits are commonly assumed to be derived.
I have added to this addition (here) a link to Bousfield-Kan map and also to the entry’s own section “Resolved (co)ends”.
