Right, it's an unhelpful qualifier.
I'm reminded of the comments of chemistry experts about the UK government using the phrase "military-grade nerve agent"[0]. Firstly, no military would ever admit to owning the stuff (since even the permanent members of the UN security council are signatories of the Chemical Weapons Convention), but, more obviously, there's no such thing as a civilian-grade nerve agent.
I suppose what they meant was "no medical, industrial, or commercial uses", or "requires the resources of an entire country to create and manage", but those aren't attributes that you would want for your security software.
