      Because its a covering instead of saying underhanded or sneaky or tricking users.

      “I didn’t steal, I was just quietly sneaking money from their wallet!”

        I’m speaking more of the reporting. It seems like every headline claims something is being done “quietly” now when it was actually announced loud and clear. Take this price hike, for example. I got an email from Google last week telling me the price went up. That wasn’t “quietly”. “Quietly” would be raising the price completely unannounced and hoping no one notices.
