VHS player
VCR.
It stands for Video Cassette Recorder. There is no such thing as a "player". They all have recording capability.
I've programmed the intel 8051. I made a firmware update to get it working on 4G/LTE modems. I must say the debug tools weren't the greatest. There was a lot of logging invovled.
A lot of modern tech is garbage. You just need to practice the purchasing habits of Richard Stallman. There are literally hundreds of routers on the market that you can install your own custom OS on. This is the case with many phones, and almost every PC.
"VCR" vs "VHS Player":

Conjuring up a frequency graph from 2004-present doesn't help your argument, as the VCR format wars were pretty much over a good 15 years beforehand.
"VCR" could have meant either VHS or Betamax to a consumer in the early '80s.
At least VHS specifies a particular standard, and "player" in that context has a loose connection with record player, or tape player , being the thing you play your purchased records / tapes / videos on.

My memory was that there were exclusive players for TV stations. But all the consumer ones could record.

What is this, Perl? It's not write-only. VCR may stand for video cassette recorder but it's also a VCP.
