That's because we can't just make "allow-list" a drop in replacement
for "whitelist" as I too (native English speaker) find it awkward. But
then we don't need to make it a drop in replacement.

"I will whitelist the syscall" will become "I will add the syscall to
the allow-list", which sounds perfectly fine, and even better than
saying "I will add the syscall to the whitelist".
