+1 on the wording likely being because Alcor has dealt with resistant families a lot, and generally you stand a better chance of being preserved if Alcor has as much legal authority as possible to make that happen. You may have to explain that you’re okay with your wife potentially doing something that would have been against your wishes (yes, I realize you don’t expect that, but there more than 0% chance it will happen) and result in no preservation when Alcor thinks you would have liked one.
This is actually why I went with Alcor: they have a long record of going to court to fight for patients in the face of families trying to do something else.
Thank you for this; I will simplify and do as you suggest, leaving it entirely in my wife’s hands.

Fair enough, but if I’m that wrong about her, I have much bigger problems than this extremely-unlikely-to-work process (my analysis, I know many people think cryonics is more likely to work than I do) becoming less likely to work than before :)
