You figure it out when you find you have a 2032 but really need a 2012, 2016, 2020, or 2025. Then there are the cylindrical lithium-ios batteries. I've got some 18650s, probably the most common, but there are a number of other sizes, one of which is dimensionaly the same as an AA, or the 18500 which is a fat AA. If I were dictator of the world there would be a lot fewer battery sizes, oil filter types, and so forth.
