POSIX. POSIX didn't get designed but documented behaviour that was portable between different UNIX flavours and was then declared a standard.

If you're annoyed by it just consider the xvf in tar xvf to be a subcommand as pull is in git pull. Tar simply has a fancy subcommand syntax. At least it's not dd.
