Mac SSH sends some environment variables by default

−0

Why does the default SSH client behavior for MacOS send LANG and LC_* environment variables to the server? If I consult man ssh_config, it says

SendEnv

[…] The default is not to send any environment variables.

Why would Apple decide to override it? (And if so, why leave the documentation with its original text?)

This snippet is at the bottom of /etc/ssh/ssh_config:

Host *
    SendEnv LANG LC_*

ssh macOS
