I totally agree with you!
The thing is that it probably was not Russians who invented this. Since Russian has no official romanization system, other languages had to invent a way how to transliterate Russian words. Different languages use different systems. French transliteration used to be popular earlier. Now, when English is dominant, English transliteration is used most commonly.
