The term "illegal" historically refers to laws. Laws are rules enacted by governments.

As definition (a) in the OED makes clear.

But then the OED also says:

b. Lawless, irregular. Obs. rare.

1728 R. MORRIS Ess. Anc. Archit. 20 How preferable the Beauties of ancient Architecture are to the illegal Practices of our modern Builders.

So if bad architecture can be illegal, I guess bad operands can be too.
