I think it's not necessarily only the language barrier,
but the fact that not everyone is familiar with technical
terms and details.  I guess that many people don't know
what "swap-backed" means exactly.  I also think that the
name "malloc" is badly chosen in that context ...  even
a (userland) programmer might confuse it with malloc(3),
which is quite a different thing.

Best regards
