They chose not to blanket label terf as derogatory because they found enough instances where it wasn’t used in that way.

The OED team elected not to label “Terf” as derogatory on the grounds that it is not universally considered so. (“Gender-critical”, considered by some a more neutral term, was added to the OED earlier this year.) Instead, “typically regarded as derogatory” is included in the definition’s small print, which also notes that the coiner of “Terf” (the OED dates it to 2008 in a blog, hoydenabouttown.com) originally intended it to be a neutral description.

That’s the explanation
