He does call them "sensible hacker defaults for macOS", which might get less criticism, but it's the repo title and there's no real indication that he's speaking to the general hacker public (and not privately to himself, as the "default hacker")

Or does he use this phrase in some blog post?

Either way it's not present on the linked file.

FWIW I’m not annoyed by the title. It just sounds tongue in cheek. Of course, it’s sensible to him because these are his settings.
