Because it's predominantly shot overseas, much like international trap. Also, the governing body (ISSF) is European. The loads are all slightly less than 7/8 of an ounce.
Coincidentally, if you want to try some, a 7/8 ounce #9 bushing will load 24 grams of #7.5. Crank the velocity up to 1350 and you have a load similar to what we use in international trap.
