Why do sofas have to be so confusing

But i was helping a customer choose a new sofa yesterday, and it hit me how every couch seems to have a different set of dimensions and naming conventions. Do we really need a couch that’s ‘serpentine’ or ‘L-shape’ just to convey it fits in a corner? Sometimes I think we should just label them ‘sit on me’ and ‘not gonna fit!’.
