A computer is classically defined by a device having I/O, processing and memory working together. People colloquially call the assembled product a computer, which is fine, but it’s still technically a computer installed in a chassis.
However, a graphics card also has I/O, a processor, and memory and can perform tasks indepently, so it’s a computer installed in a computer installed in a chassis.
once you attach a thing into another thing, it becomes a part of that thing, making the thing you attached it to larger. the end result is one thing that is larger than both components.
Thus, once you attach a graphics card to your computer, your computer is larger, and your graphics card is a smaller part of said computer
it’s not a tardis. If it’s inside your computer it can’t be bigger than its container
That’s the premium upgrade
I think it’s more like the motherboard can be made so small now that the graphics card can easily dwarf it. Like a 5090 in an SFF PC.

At least people arent calling it the CPU anymore…

QED.
I am not taking further questions.
You obviously have an older generation.
