Not at all. In my computer electronics world, a "card" is a form of removable storage media. It can occasionally also be an expansion component that sits in one of the PCI-express slots on the motherboard and does cool things, like rending The Witcher 2 at high frame rates.
New operating systems are just like everything else. One of the first obstacles on the steep learning curve is the vocabulary, and one of the first sources of frustration is how every stupid that vocabulary seems until you get the hang of it. Card? Really? Where all the words that don't already have a well established meaning in the world of portable electronics taken already?
