Driven by use of a tool and standard Microsoft policy (this is basically a Microsoft project). The developer had little discretion.
-
Apparently someone at Microsoft, long ago, decided that the term "whitelist" (and "blacklist") might conceivably offend someone +
-
and so added it to the "don't use these words" list. MS of course would want to take every effort to not offend anyone, even idiots.
-
Same class of people who decided master/slave was Bad, had to invent a new term, and muddled things.
-
No, different class of people. Microsoft wants to avoid causing offense. SJWs want to control your thoughts.
-
Difference between me being prudish and me demanding that you be prudish.
