It's really a pet peeve of mine, that term. So typical for what Google/Alphabet is doing to control the narrative around what's "secure" and what isn't.
That's exactly what's going on here. Narrative / concepts are in stake here. By controlling the narrative you can influence or alter the perception of people about things.
I'm just glad people are waking up to how fiercely controlling Google is even in its "free" and "open" source endeavors.
