Not just developers, but anybody who can contribute to a team, other than the person who is leading, is a resource. Includes designers, etc.

I mean, maybe they could have found a better all-encompassing word, but they apparently mean no disrespect to developers.

Yeah, this is the way I see it. Without any further context/history of them being disrespectful, I see no reason to start flipping out over a poor choice of words.

The person leading a team is (maybe) contributing, why are they magically not a resource and all the other members of the team are?

I see it just as the focal point for setting the goal of the team. The captain, if you will.
