HGIYC Notation (General)

Is it just me? Or does anybody else find the move notation in HGIYC really distracting to the point of annoyance?

All the moves are given by naming the square the pawn or piece is moving from and the square it's going to. In analysis, positions or alternative lines are given in the usual alphabetic format i.e. e4 Nf6 etc. Why are the moves in the games not numbered either? Why is HGIYC not using the move notation which is most commonly used, and familiar, to all chess players?

Sorry for all the questions, but does anyone else have an opinion on this? Oops! Another question.
