For comparison, as I read that it sounded like a mean thing to say about deontology and a neutral thing to say about consequentialism. This may be because I have internalized consequentialist thinking so consequentialist related things sound better. Or maybe it is because I naturally associate 'morality as terminal' with 'lies you tell people and stuff you try to force other people to do'.
That's very interesting. If it happened in one direction - if morality being instrumental started out sounding good to you and bad to me - that could explain a lot of the apparent disconnect between consequentialists and non-.
