Cus every part of the 7110 was written or amended randomly by a different person and there’s very little holistic continuity through the document

not "turn right 10 degrees"

Because that way sounds stupid.
And could also be confused (rarely) with a right turn to 010. It differentiates from the "turn right heading" to keep the instructions different meaning.

Just how it be.

Secret: Either way will get the plane to turn. One might be "correct" and we should be correct as much as humanly possible, BUT nobody is going to FAA jail if you say turn right 10 degrees. I know because I'm sure I've said it the wrong way a ton of times in 20 years and I'm not in FAA jail yet.

to further differentiate between a relative and absolute heading. the most important logical(?) info is at the front of the instruction, magnitude for a relative change in course, direction for an absolute change in course.
