You call it a bug because you can't think of any way it could be

implement the programmer's intentions and/or the docs/specification.
I was always taught that it's a "bug" is when a program doesn't do
what a reasonable user expects -- that it's got nothing to do with the
programmer's intent.
As in my entire career I've never come across a "reasonable user" then
by that definition there are no bugs.
