Sure, I think we agree in semantics but the wording is difficult. The bar for secure you’re referring to is quite high, a lot of commercial products that brand themselves secure would be much less secure than something like age. These days I think it’s fair to use “secure” in the sense of “made a serious effort to provide certain security properties”. It’s too hard to define, let alone agree, to what secure should mean for everyone.
