I’d wager this is something displayed at the Eiffel Tower, where they prominently display and have informed you a bajillion times how tall it is.
So this lets you compare, and if you’re not already aware of the number they’ve tried to ingrain in your brain, OR engage with what they have that tells you.

I mean I’m making up the only scenario I could think of where it makes sense to not print it so idk if what I said was true I just like to make sense of stuff
