That's a silly term for that. Commercial businesses have the same access to NIST that the military does. Their guidance is even free!

Military grade when we're talking about a screw is a little different. It means that the screw is made and QC'd to a very specific spec/standard.

My next question might be, "Where can I find you on the FedRamp approved list?". To which, I'm sure they'd respond that anything outside the algorithm is not military grade, which is what most attackers will exploit in the end.

In electronics military grade means it works over a wide temperature range. That's about it.
