Well, you are right. Control mapping is usually not set in stone. The style of control most people refer to when saying "FPS controls" is that. Not that it is the only way, it is just colloquial.
If my team is in California, and I am building a mecanum bot this year, I am allowed to say I have a "West Coast Drive" given the vague definitions of the words. But, if I told anybody "my bot is West Coast Drive" they would automatically assume something other than mecanum.
