I suppose it depends on your definition of Hacker or Hacking. I will quote Urban Dictionary as it has the best definition I have seen.
An individual capable of solving complex non-intuitive problems in a seemingly intuitive manner. The processes and techniques used are not necessarily methodical to the observer, but yet achieve results significantly and consistently faster than known experience would predict. A hacker is not defined in terms of intention or purpose, but rather by the talented single-mindedness of method. A hacker is not a hack. Hackers are not limited to computer hacking. [1]
The term was also used in WWII to define soldiers that could Adapt, Improvise and Overcome. U.S. Marines still use this term today.
So to answer your question I do not see an issue unless they are specifically abusing the term Computer Hackers.
