ELI5: Why some liquid medicines state a dosage such as 10mg/5ml rather than just 2mg/ml?

Am I just being overly pedantic?

If the typical dosage is 10 mg (or multiples of that) then you have to do a lot less calculation to arrive at the correct amount. And if you have simpler or no calculation there is less risk of getting the dosage wrong.
