Usually it's because log-log paper is what there is, and it's what
people have always used for plotting responses. Look at a product
data sheet and that's how you'll see it plotted.

Which is decidedly NOT because that was all the paper they had!
It's because they chose log-log to best suit the required purpose, just as
everyone else does.

Yes, but why 10-cycle? You'd think 8-cycle or 16 cycle would be
more appropriate for the purpose, except that they don't make it...

Surely you understand the reason is because of the logarithmic response of
the human auditory system to both frequency and SPL?

Sure, but we tend to think of frequencies in powers of two rather than ten.
