I always figured that what you MEANT by binary compatible, is "they work the same, don't break linkage with SOs, and when you run it you won't observe any difference" other than branding.

One of the fringe benefits of actually sitting down with legal from time to time. They sometimes explain to us that the way we've been saying things may not match the 'legal connotation' applied to the language.

There's no malicious intent or devious nature behind the phrasing change. Just the result of having a legal team inform us that sometimes "words mean things". It doesn't change the message, just how we present it.
