A car can be fully loaded, a pickup truck can too. As can a big van and a lorry. It is all relative.
The thing is, no one talks about a "fully loaded" bike packing trip. Those two terms don't go together when people talk about bike packing. You can go ultra light bike packing or bike packing.
Of course, anyone can say anything they like, but if you are on a bike packing forum and you say you are fully loaded bike packing people will ask for some sort of clarification because it is not common terminology. Conversely, if you are on a touring site and say you are fully loaded touring most people intuitively understand what you mean.
