Not all lies are evil and manipulative but it’s a lie nonetheless.
The secret to good communication and the solution to issues like this is to stare the horse in the face and clarify what their expectations are, what’s expected of you, and what they mean.
It’s awkward as fuck the first few times you do it but it always helps clear the water.
It’s a lie as much as saying “good thanks” when someone asks you how you are. In my world, everyone understands “good thanks” is just a polite thing to say, not actually how I’m feeling at the moment. Sure, I guess you can call it that if you want, but I don’t believe it’s morally wrong the way most actual lies are.
