Am I supposed to intuit from that discussion that they have different incentives and/or goals, or that they haven't found time to get it done? Because even though I think it is somewhat poor wording, I think it's the latter.
Also, although I also think the proposed "upload" is poor wording, as many people seeing that will be confused because buttons that say that usually then request what to upload (e.g. "hmm, maybe it's asking for a local image to upload to the cloud for storage?"). You actually are saveing in both cases, in one case to the cloud, inthe other case to the disk. Thus, "Save to cloud" and "Save to disk" (or "Save locally") are much better options in my mind.

That doesn't really make a lot of sense though - the experiment was specifically launched with the goal of trying to solve the problem of sharing screenshots with others; a problem they identified as common through user research. So while I think there's a lot to say for changing the wording, the primary action will always be sharing it.
