Fair enough. I was just kind of curious.

Just speculating, but I expect a variety of format options aren't included because a certain percentage of customers would inevitably pick the "wrong" one then consume tech support resources asking why their Windows computer can't read their memory card anymore.
The tiny percentage of customers who are aware that other format options exist and desire to use one are also going to have computers to format them with. And it's a one-time task, not something that's going to be done on a regular basis. Sure, it's a minor inconvenience to have to stick the card in a reader on your computer that one time, but it's still just one time. I don't see that as a big deal.
