Makes sense though. Some learning English might only understand "run" in the sense of something people do outside, so the latter statement would be less ambiguous.
"Run the program" is eventually generalized into "Run the $1" and someone assigns it "plate", and I as an i18n end user obtain to rotate apertures on escaping dinnerware. A license plate cannot be operated and that's one less ambiguity gone before it happens.
I get why these technical expressions counter productive, they create uneven cognitive load on speech center in the brain rather than distributing interpretation task wide across from visual and motor and various cortex that would be readily available. But that's the goal; to minify dependency graph and remove variances coming from implementation differences.

I'd have a really hard time with this, saying "Run the program" is forbidden language. You'd need to say "OPERATE THE SOFTWARE".
