The typography you speak of is used in many countries outside the U.S. and also in the military. Since 'European '1's often have a long diagonal stroke beside the vertical one, they can more often be confused as '7's unlike the U.S. '1' which is basically a straight vertical line. There really isn't a need to place a vertical line through 7's in the U.S. since it's unlikely you'd be confused between a 1 & a 7.

When 7 is handwritten it is often slashed so as not to be mistaken for a 1 or a 4.
The 1 is only slashed on the bottom so that it is not mistaken for a letter.

that's quite a lot a eu ingredient, distinctly Germany and the eastern eu countries. that's barely used in handwritten sevens, which makes a case for the seven greater heavily such as the single. some countries additionally decrease their zeroes.
