Because its a covering instead of saying underhanded or sneaky or tricking users.

“I didn’t steal, I was just quietly sneaking money from their wallet!”

Maybe that used to be the case but the USA does it different

Look at gamedate.org, or for immediate context search it on YouTube, you may be able to implement a copycat tool with more general lists of common events than the games list the site uses.
