Well, there are 2 reasons:
a) In some cases (e.g. commands called from editors) it is very complicated
or impossible to set environment variables.
b) Even advanced users do not know of LC_COLLATE. I myself use UNIX
operating systems for more than 10 years and it is the very first time
I get in contact with this special environment variable. It is very
unintuitive to set environment variables, whereas a program option is
the normal way. Having both ways does no harm.

I thought LC_TIME has to be in the same category. I did not really check
this. Remove that if wrong.
