Why are lens and format measurements so absurd?

British newspapers are more likely to express these things in terms of double-decker buses and/or Olympic swimming pools. We could express the angle of view of a lens in terms of the height (in double-decker buses) from which an Olympic pool would fill the frame, thus the 16-bus Noctilux, the amazing 3.8-bus Cosina Voigtlander and the massive 251-bus Telyt.
