That is what they do. Take them to the most common point they can then let the user assemble the provided parts. That way they can manufacture less variations and the stores can stock less different numbers and still cover everyone.
Sorry, But cheap "fits all" and "lifetime" brake shoes/pads are a poor replacement for the OEM spec brakes. Countless hours are spent tuning friction material size and type for the best overall performance. If you don't use OEM pads get the best you can justify. They can get expensive but there is a difference and generally worth it.
