Because the actual scaling is $1000/pixel. The issue is that screen resolutions are in units of 8 (because bytes) and thus to get it to look nicely centered, while filling the screen and staying true to the base unit scaling the 'full screen' scale is also going to be in units of 8.
Sure you could rescale, or do some other shenanigans to get it into nicer units but then it would look lopsided and uncentered (which is something to keep an eye out for on intentionally misleading graphics).
Not a 'stupid american' thing but a 'stupid computers' thing.
