We know that, I fully accept that Phorm doesn't store any personally identifiable information on disk (RAM is surely a storage medium, even if it's only in there for microseconds?).

What we object to, as many many people here and elsewhere have said, is the interception of our data by your software. What also worries us is that the Phorm patents allow for storage of personal data. So although at the moment you might not store our data, software creep can (and does) occur.
