Cisco's expression of a MAC address is wrong anyway. Correct notation
for a MAC address is separating each byte with a colon.

Doesn't matter... It's widespread and Cisco isn't the only one to use it.

Just for my own edification, who else besides Cisco do you know who
uses that notation for MAC addresses? I want some convincing before
I'll accept the claim that it's widespread.

Windows displays macs as dash separated hexified bytes (ie, 12-34-56-78-90-AB) which is incorrect.

Given how widespread and pervasive the Microsoft Windows Virus is, I'd call this widespread and pervasive.
