its simply code where I live and my old home where I grew up was already old AF and had those risers and treads (albeit not as deep as they should have been, I always tripped)

Never lived in a house, only apartments with no stairs (inside the apartments) and this is obvious even to me. You can know something without ever having owned or lived with that thing.

I mean, it’s code for anything built during the age of home electricity.

Well, my house has electricity and the stairs do not have that indentation at all.

When was your home built?

Well after the age of electricity, but I’m not sure precisely. I don’t think any of my stairs have had such an exaggerated ledge of the tread like the picture in this thread. In my previous house (2000 something) it just had a little bump nailed on to the edge, but it was symmetric on both the tread and riser.
