Saying "Swimmers are hairless" doesn't mean YOU are if you are a swimmer. This is a generality about a group of people. There are more than a handful of Core devs who fit that description and therefore easier to generalize in speech. This is not an indictment of you.

This just turns “bitcoin core devs” into a vague boogeyman that you can lob insults at to radicalize people and endanger our lives. Bitcoin core devs are pretty diverse and have different opinions on things.

I mean are we really saying there's any credence to stocastic terror? This is a common language shortcut. Instead of saying "Peter Todd, Shinobi, Jamison Lopp, Sjors, and so on" everytime, you group people for brevity. This doesn't imply action or any demonization. I never lobbed insults, so you are doing the same to me by this logic.
