I can only assume that they're lazy bastards. Seems to be the only logical explanation. :)

So have I!

Eg, just for fun, pick any item from the range of solvent weld waste pipes

and see if you can spot the slightly confusing 'deliberate mistake' in the product listing...

Well, I queried mine weeks ago, to no avail.

I claim the mystery prize!

Solvent Weld Waste - Straight Coupling 40mm - "Requires no solvent or tightening"

Slightly puzzled by the "tightening", but not using solvent will certainly make assembling the runs less messy. Another great innovation.....
