Then it's not Hot Swap, just Lukewarm Swap?

I guess, you could see it that way...? The important part is that you don't have to turn off the whole system. It can continue running without interruption. So, the RAM will be lukewarm when you swap it, but the system will still be hot.

If you really want to be pedantic you could setup raid 1+0 or 5 and live the true RAM hot swapping life

So "warm plugging" is a thing - it means a piece of hardware is detachable while the machine is asleep.
