It’s like calling your remote a “clicker”. A term that is still used but only by the old crowd.
Both "clicker" and "slide deck" made a resurgence, these are definitely not exclusively old terms.
Their origin is old is the point. They refer back to an old technology and no longer applies since todays remotes don’t click. I think a “resurgence” is going a bit far.
Or the even crazier regional usage of "button box".
I call the game controllers "remotes". I don't think my kids like me.
