It comes from an american indian studies framework where you define things by what they have and not what they lack. So indigenous peoples not colonized peoples. More than human animals, not non human animals. Healing communities not broken communities. Get it?
Again, the relevant information here is what they lack compared to humans.
And secondly, "more than human" just makes no sense and is pretty subjective without specifying what quality they have "more" of. Non-human is just objectively true, they aren't humans.

:capybara-theorist: yes?
Where do you think the elves and the dwarves and the fae went? We paved right over them.
You're right, they should say more-than-human to highlight what living creatures do have, and not what they lack
Well considering they lack aspirations and goals to be broken ("dreams" as used above), I'd say that's the relevant part.
