I understand. In reply, the Heroes and Villains/DICE page does mention in the opening paragraph that they are simply often referred to as heroes (I just edited it adding a few words to better clarify).

The nomenclature regarding heroes and villains is ultimately a systematic issue, since DICE themselves often categorize villains as 'heroes' both in-game and in official marketing, but in terms of press announcements/Community Transmissions refer to them as villains (though in the same announcement when specifically talking about Grievous in-game he is referred to as a 'hero').
