What kind of doublespeak is this?

The media companies asked us to do this and said they don’t want any of their high definition content to play in x32 at all, because of all of the unsigned malware that runs in kernel mode can get around content protection, so we had to do this.

"Malware?"

It reminds me of an even more egregious case where a CA system engineer referred to software tools that save copies of unencrypted television programming delivered over an open interface as a "hack" because some of the television providers didn't want the software to do that.
