The API refers to these objects as secrets. How does it improve understanding to pick some other name because you feel the current one is undeserved? I'm not disagreeing with that assessment, but it seems odd to just refuse to use it and chide others for doing so. It that supposed to be a protest or something?

It's more a criticism of the implementation. Kubernetes deserves a secrets store, but the one it's got isn't worthy of the name. I'm advocating for engineering efforts to be prioritized over other projects on making it a secure implementation, because people are likely to be misled into thinking the existing implementation is already secure.
