That name wouldn't work in ProDOS.  ;-)

But seriously, if the runtime was available in the Big Red
Computer Club library as HyperCard Player, then in the
Shareware Solutions II and ftp servers as HyperCard Player
(and I think the Mac version of the runtime is called
HyperCard Player), it would not make much sense to
rename it and cause confusion.

No one is going to mistake the runtime for the full
HyperCard.  The full HyperCard comes on half a dozen
disks and requires a hard disk to install to.
