I think he meant the Dapper Zombies themselves.

Anyways, I do agree that it's just an issue of framing. They can make up a dozen of reasons we can use necromancy for some reason (it seems likely we'll be interacting with the 13th shard in the near future), or create an art that is functionally necromancy, but justified differently by lore. It's not necromancy! Its placing small mindless aetherial constructs into bodies?

Still, I find it unlikely. The usage of corpses just seems ghastly for the WoLs tone. Not to mention that China might find the theme unsavory. Something with ghosts might work I guess?
