Yep. They are arguing semantics. Since operating system files *were*
updated, one can correctly say that it is an "OS update" that is
primarily addressing security issues. The popular term for this is "security
update" (which is what Apple calls it) or "operating system update".
While either term is valid, the former is likely to generate less
confusion and consternation.
