Topic: Why is fr conversion most commonly done to 60fps?

Dumb question, no doubt, but it's counter-intuitive to me (as a complete newbie, and European) that conversion to 50 fps never gets a mention.  In PAL-land the standard frame-rate for recording/transmitting video - for hobbyists anyway - is (surely?) 25 fps.  So wouldn't it be more natural for us to convert to 50 fps (or 75) than to 60?  Is there something which precludes this, for some reason I'm totally missing?

You can select multiplier Movie x2 or Movie x3.

My favorite is 24->72, 25->75, 29->58, 30->60. So you can ditch reclock and most monitors can overclock to 75 Hz

Because it is done on computers, and most computers have a 60Hz display.
