This is semantic hocus-pocus.  Sorry to be so direct, but I find this particular point non-helpful after spending 15+ years of fighting criminals who register tens, hundreds, or even thousands of domains daily in order to abuse innocent people.

We publish lists of thousands of domains every day whose sole “purpose” is to abuse the HELL out of everyone on the Internet that people then take and block on their networks and in many cases pass along to the registrars who then suspend them due to the behavior associated with them.  If you want to be technically pure, yes, some person is using services tied to a domain name they registered to do things like data exfiltration, DDoS, phishing, malware control, etc. but the domains themselves are purely malicious based on the intent of the registrant.
