It has been like this since 2015, git blame fmtutil.pl gives me:
fd0e2370d69b (Norbert Preining 2015-03-18 06:34:46 +0000 471) # we just identify 'all', 'refresh', 'missing'
fd0e2370d69b (Norbert Preining 2015-03-18 06:34:46 +0000 472) # I don't see much point in keeping all of them
fd0e2370d69b (Norbert Preining 2015-03-18 06:34:46 +0000 473) $doit = 1 if ($what eq 'all');
fd0e2370d69b (Norbert Preining 2015-03-18 06:34:46 +0000 474) $doit = 1 if ($what eq 'refresh');
fd0e2370d69b (Norbert Preining 2015-03-18 06:34:46 +0000 475) $doit = 1 if ($what eq 'missing');
Nobody has complained about this missing feature by now. We could simply
adapt the man page to reflect reality.

Nothing to do with the -user/-sys changes, that above change happened
much earlier.
Akira, do you think it is *necessary* to have these features? If yes, I
will look into it.
