Serious question: Why does the polycarbonate ballpoint pen not only still have a label on it while in use, but a label that is also in several languages? That's one thing that I'd guess most people in the world would instantly recognize.
It's only in 2 languages. English and Japanese, and it was made in Japan, so that kinda makes sense.
Removing some labels leaves a sticky residue, so sometimes it's easier to leave it.
