No, you're missing the point that a season Travelcard, legally, *is* a
National Rail ticket (whereas an Oyster PAYG card, obviously, isn't).
The media on which said Travelcard is printed is irrelevant.

Not entirely. I once had an Annual Hove to all zones Gold travelcard which
was printed (by mistake) on rail-only Gold Card ticket stock. A (jobsworth)
bus driver refused to accept it despite it quite clearly showing that it was
valid in all zones.
