Because I might have more than one computer perhaps?

I'm
not disputing it's accuracy.  
I checked the man pages.
I
didn't ask for, didn't select, nor do I live in Europe, no offense,

None of you suggestions or comments address my question, and if I
preferred the f7 output I wouldn't have brought it up, I obviously prefer
the old listing which has been that way in every Unix version that I've
worked on for the past 25 years.
