Not really. It is just not to confuse people. Allah is viewed by
intelligent and well read people as being the God as described in
Islam, which is very different from the God described in Christianity.
If Christianity want to use the word Allah also, they should use it
for all translations since the early days, but which they don't.
Why only now? Why can't Christians use the correct translation for God
which is Tuhan in Malay and ILA in Arabic, instead of the same name
for God
as in Islam, i.e. Allah?
Why only in Muslim majority areas that the Christians want to use the
word Allah in place of God?
The only simple explanation is that they want to confuse Muslims and
non-Muslim Arab and Malay speaking people into thinking that there is
no difference
between Muslim God and Christian God, which is completely FALSE.
The whole argument is that the Christians are LYING and MISLEADING.

Which is a lie. Arabs use ILA for god, and Malays use Tuhan for God,
just as English use God not Allah in their translation of the Bible.
Allah is just a name of a god in Arabic, which is completely different
from the word God.
Using Allah as a direct translation of God is misleading because ILA
and Tuhan are the right words for God.
Why do the christians resort to great lengths in spreading lies and
mistranslating into Malay and Arabic?
As though there are no other names of God in Arabic, which is NONSENSE
indeed.
