Don't quote me on this but I believe it's to do with location.

On flag boards, I always see anglosphere countries and countries that have been influenced by anglos use 17th, 18th, 19th when listing centuries.

However, European countries seem to use Roman numerals for centuries, especially France.

French here, we use Roman numerals.

using Roman numerals is a French thing as far as I've seen, even other Latin countries use generally use Arabic digits

Roman numerals are a European thing.
