Most all modern new US washers have no F or C degree marking

RE comment in Reply #32 "but what about those washing machines with an integrated heater? They still have names instead of degrees. "
Last November here with all the USA 50 to 100 new washers I looked at in about say 7 local stores, none are labeled in actual temperatures of F or C.
Thus I wager few if any USA modern washers have actual labeled temperatures in degrees F or C.
I really have never seen a washer that has actual temperatures in washers sold here for homeowners.
I have only seen them via the web; when say somebody in Europe, NZ, Oz, Brazil mentions they used their washer at 40C and I google their washer to see the front panel.
I really only heard /read of these actual front Temperature washer panel settings via non Americans on this website.
Thus when a non USA user mentions on this site they used a 40,50 0r 60 C settings, we here in the USA have no settings marked in C or F.
If I look at my new LG WM2501HVA, its panel has no F or C degree settings, only cold, warm, hot and extra hot and combinations of both for wash and rinse.
I do know the "extra hot" setting turns on the internal heater.
There is a statement on page 23 of the manual that says warm is regulated at 86F /30 C. it also says "your washer features a heating element to boost the hot water temperature of Extra Hot settings".
Then on page 15 it says under "fabric care labels" that hot is 50c 120 f warm 40 c 105 f cold 30 c 85 F
Thus an actual user like me has little info on ones new washer even if one digs.
Here is the PDF user manual for my washer:
