I think top comment is a reference of some kind.

I heard something similar; the studio didn't think the movie would be popular if they used too many computer terms so they made them change the function to "battery". Initially the reason Neo has powers is because his node happens to have admin access.

It's weird they'd think computer terms would cause the movie to lose popularity. Computers were hugely popular at the time of its release.
