Because other languages have more than one plural form.  It's the same
reason why we have

    if (ntups != 1)
    {
        write_msg(NULL, ngettext("query returned %d row instead of one: %s\n",
                                 "query returned %d rows instead of one: %s\n",
                                 ntups),
                  ntups, upgrade_query->data);
        exit_nicely();
    }

etc.
