What about other staff and partners and other entities? Why do they always insert qualifiers?

Edit: Yeah, we know why. But my point is they should spell it out, not use wording that is on its face misleading or outright deceptive.

Apple are running the data centers... this seems like an extreme nit pick of language.

I thought contractors employed mostly by overseas affiliated staffing firms partnering with IS&T run the data centers, but what do I know. I actually don’t. But the wording is odd.

Super weird to take the effort to make the wording so needlessly specific so as to exclude for example government liaison personnel and contractors. Very nit picky of them, to borrow your words. It’s almost as if there’s a reason.
