Unfortunately, I have to disagree.
It's just the way it is that its use as the go-to euphemism have led to a degree of certainty as to what it connotes.
I've grown accustomed to steering miles clear of it and making sure I use something like "specific needs" instead when it comes to meals or "specific requirements", which perfectly covers both optical drives and mind-reading computers.
