I've yet to understand why they call a 190 page PDF a "card". Calling something a card invokes a small, quick rundown of pertinent details, not every single possible detail.

Because "model card" is a set phrase, it's a concept. It originates from a time when they were shorter. Like datasheets, even if it's not literally a sheet.
They could say "tech report" but model card makes it clear that it's a specific kind of tech report.
