But then.. Most modern western aircraft don't use QFE anymore so they don't have the altimeters anymore that have big ranges of pressure settings. Use the QNH from the briefing instead of the QFE. 2

Because it was instructed by ATC upon landing request?

Well, the ATC system is an ancient relict from Lockon era if not before, where there were mainly russian aircraft around that did use QFE. So in that sense it's not really a bug but more a deprecated and out of date system. 2
