I thought sometimes they called them game ports (for the joystick.)

I reasoned if you are installing a sound card, you are probably doing some gaming, so it made sense to sort of bundle those together.

Its on the sound card because it's a midi port. Its designed for connecting a keyboard (as in electronic piano). Most people used it for gamepads but that's not what it was there for.
