This wouldn't be pedantic if we were discussing communications between cryptographers and other technologists, but this is a public notice, and so the point is very pedantic. For all intents and purposes, the password hash or authenticator of a password is its "encryption", in the layperson's sense.
In business the "simplicity abstraction layer" [1] on a product is essentially taking something that was created by hackers for hackers (or engineers) and making it simple for end users "the layperson".
God knows anytime you can make something easy for a layperson and not make them think there is money to be made. They aren't interested in your Liebert fire protection system and diverse path routing.
It never fails to amaze me how highly technical types simply can't think out of that box. And yet they make fun of "sales types" that can actually speak and sell to end users an inferior product.
