Privacy was always a marketing term, just like performance, affordable, future-proof, etc.

It’s a user benefit. By definition that means it’s a marketing term. That is not mutually exclusive with being a general concept.

Also. "Unlimited" doesnt actually mean unlimited.
I learned that when I was like 10:

download free full mp3 album now

(no download just spam, not free, not mp3, not the album you wanted and not now)
