You've obviously never worked on some of the old mainframe systems.
When your paying big dollars per KB, you're not going to waste it by putting in "helper" type messages when a piece of printed paper with values for lookup codes will do.

Many of the "codes" we see in modern systems are often a legacy from the time when every bit was precious.
