There should be standard phraseology for almost everything.
If you're dealing with ICAO English 5 or 6 level pilots sure it's not such a big deal.
But what if the guy beside you is only an ICAO 4 because he bribed the test taker or cheated somehow on his English test, and in reality he's more like an ICAO 1 or 2?
And the only English he knows are the stock callouts he memorized from the aircraft/company manuals...
