Nope not just you.
To be honest this thing about manufacturers ever putting loft on their clubs is never going to happen across the board. There will certainly never be an industry "standard". The information is out there and it's down to an individual whether they buy off the shelf, either before or after looking at lofts, go for a C/F and get everything spec'd out or simply by and play with whatever takes your fancy.
You could well be right, and personally I think it's a shame but hey ho. I know when I got fitted for mine by Cleveland (thanks GM) I couldn't care about lofts I just cared what I hit it like. That being said I'm not sure I knew that some manufacturers jacked their lofts up so would have probably assumed everyone was the same. The fitting was awesome tho and if I next get a set I'll definitely go through that process again. I still might get some 588 wedges but my tommy armour sw is a memento from my US road trip that I don't want to let go of...
