Not the main point, but this is the first time I've seen "allowlisted". Lol

...are they trying to avoid saying whitelisted because of the word "white"?

I don't think so. Speaking from help desk, whitelist/blacklist is apparently a confusing concept for anyone that's never heard of them before. I end up calling them allow list and block list just so to avoid ascertaining, yes, blacklist means blocked, it's already on there, you can stop trying to re-add it.
