How can this be the fault of the USofA ???

       As for preparing grammatically correct footnotes:
          these can be made in a number of ways, but should be done the
same within any single document.

In Europe, footnotes have the same indent as the text body, and their markers are superscripted.
It was LO behavior too, until some American changed it into the mess we have today.

Without commenting on either PoV, does this not suggest that footnote formatting (and probably other similar issues) should have a default controlled by the locale?
