Focal length APSC and FF

Why is the XF lens (or any APSC only lens like Canon EF-S) lens not state the equivalent focal length when mounted on the APSC camera? The APSC lens is not going to mount on FF anyway, not like FF lens can be mounted on APSC.

In other words, why not just say the 23mm is really a 35mm lens, or the 56mm lens is really a 85mm lens. That will avoid the need to multiply focal length by the crop factor.
