Eh. Either they weren't going to do so anyway, because doing so goes against the money, or they can come up with a more public-friendly term.

Everyone knows that synonyms exist, and them not having found the more "polite term" in Wikipedia — platform decay — says more about them and their reluctance to engage with the subject and the proposed solutions.
