Sabotage, to me, explicitly means that the act was committed with the intent of derailing the project’s original purpose. This act seems orthogonal to the original intent of the project, so it’s underhanded but it’s not really sabotage.

Sabotage is quite a fascinating concept. IWW are big promoters of using sabotage as direct action. An industrial saboteur might have the goal of disrupting the supply chain causing damage to their boss’s profits, either as a revenge for poor labor condition, or as negotiating tactic during a strike. Here the saboteur is disrupting at the end of the supply chain when the product is consumed with the goal of delivering a political message.

Like I said sabotage isn’t loaded and does not depend on the motive. Only that something was disrupted on purpose.
