Forgive me if I take their word for it over yours.
The word "cab" has a legal definition.

Is english your 2nd language? When 2 words are combined they generally no
longer mean the same as each original word. For example: a riverbus isn't a
red double decker that happens to float.

The word "cab" still has a legal definition, even if you wish it didn't.


So does "bus". That doesn't stop "data buses" from existing.
