Good question, but you are confusing similar looking punctuation marks.
An apostrophe's job is to indicate possessive, or to indicate missing letters
(contraction). An apostrophe is never used as a quote - although it looks
similar to a single quote, it is not a single quote.
A good resource for the differences in the punctuation marks is
http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~ggbaker/reference/characters/
The term quote or quotation mark refers to both single and double quotes. The
single and double is used to differentiate between a single mark ( ' ), and a
double mark ( " ).
The terminology is correct... and it's been around a lot longer than the IT
industry :-)
(another reference, The Chicago Manual of Style sections 9.87, 9.89, 2.174, 10.7
etc.)
