Not specifically. Cross-platform consistency is a side effect of decoupling position representation from hardware or medium. A word is a word regardless of the medium used to present it.

No I don't expect consistency. One of the points of having different apps and devices is so that people can get different experiences. And hopefully find one that fits them perfectly.

Consistency does not mean uniform interface or experience. Consistency means every time you do X then Y happens. Consistency means that when you tell your applications "go to position Z" you get the same position. User interface is how you issue this instruction. It might be typing a number or sliding a bead on a bar or saying "Hey, Siri. Go to position Z". User experience is how well or poorly this interaction works.
