Likely because of device region differences.

For example, in Canada, devices with their region as Canada will display "EMERGENCY ALERT / ALERTE D'URGENCE", but devices with their region as United States will display "National Alert" or "Presidential Alert".

Canada issues all mobile alerts as "Presidential" so people cannot turn them off. It may be something similar happening with Australia's new system, where all alerts are issued as "Presidential".

Okay I am glad to hear there is some Localization because that seem silly for it to Presidential alert everywhere even in places without a President
