I suspect it is the perception that it's a bit pedantic to correct an otherwise correct answer. I agree with you, but also don't really think it needs to be corrected every single time someone posts whitelist/blacklist.
EDIT: apparently setting allowlist/denylist won't work so it's not just being pedantic, it's wrong.
