Security companies can make headlines by using the right jargon, even when it's wrong.

You are still missing the essence of a backdoor. One, it is deliberate. Two, its intended to be used without the users knowledge. Now obviously its difficult to determine intent but it more clear in some cases than others. And if we are to follow your logic then we would deem any default password a backdoor. This is not what we have done historically.
