And that's why you've been downvoted. While you started with what appears to be a legitimate question, you devolved into not only appearing to have avoided reading the article, but also not having empathy for the subject of the article.
The injustice is the complete lack of acknowledgement, for decades, of those who 'coded the software' of the machine. The seemingly willful ignorance of the bosses who ran the project and the media who covered it.
Take exception to the terminology in the heading if you like. Make a good argument that it's not productive. But at least have the ability to acknowledge the content of the article.
