Security is not an area where you want to be sloppy with your choice of words.
It is not clear text. It is encrypted and Apple has the key.
The reason the distinction is important is that if it were clear text NSA/FBI etc could gain physical access to the servers and read the backups without Apple's knowledge or approval.

Where does Apple store the keys? On the very same machines? It's like having a bulletproof lock, and storing the key under the potted plant.
