also a tool that generates the emboss pattern based on the design of the card. so that for example a logo on the card gets embossed.

I think that was not done by embossing but by "3d printing" on the business card directly.

I wish it was easy for a CAD n00b to create templates for this. Like I want my business card to be the emboss
Just pushing two blocks by hand and adding your weight will most likely be enough to make nice impression. The reason is that you have the inverted side - normally you would have just one plate pushing against some softer rubber so the paper has nowhere to go and you need a lot more force.
Tbh this roller design is needlesly complicated for business cards. Printing the rolls with overhangs will require supports. Roller press for graphics has some advantages like consistency of force and pressing of different sized/long pieces. None of which are useful here. Besides you wouldn't have emboss on the roll (unless you were printing infinite patterns) - you would press plate and paper through smooth roller press.

Here is a video of a desktop scale embosser used for just that purpose: https://youtu.be/5ZQHSsFnACs?si=DWwgTScwl5HXkwGP
The part where the embossing daisy wheel is shown is at 18:10.
Here are machines used at an industrial scale: https://www.maticagroup.com/technologies/embossers/
They are nevertheless called “embossers”.

I don’t know what you mean. The technique of stamping the numbers on credit cards was literally called embossing.

Its a far cry from paying by bonk and your phone beeping a few seconds later to indicate your bank has already registered the transaction!
Or you could just print the business cards themselves with your 3D-printer.
