I don't see any crusade. Someone said they wouldn't use that term themselves and then used it because that was the term the OP chose to request responses be posted against. What's the issue?
The thing that seems to be being overlooked is that even areas like crown land that it's legal to use - there's a catch. You're expected to report your presence and expected stay to whoever is responsible for the property. It's supposed to be be for your own protection on case of accident or mishap. But hey - be stealthy if you wish. If you go missing no-one will even notice.
