Because the term is loaded. There are technical implications (who will you be federated with and how do I connect with them?), and it's jurisdictional (which laws apply when I post here?). Also, for non-technical people, you only hear the word "server" in techno-babble word salad from movies. I don't blame them at all for being confused.
