Why do restaurants ask how you like your steak cooked?

I’m always confused as to why it is only steak where the restaurant asks how you want it cooked. I mean, when I order chicken, fish, pork, and other types of meats, the waiter doesn’t ask me how I want well-done I want it cooked, but for some reason they do that for steak? Even other forms of beef products don’t get this kind of treatment. Nobody asks how well I want a hamburger cooked, or the beef slices in beef noodle soup. So why is steak special in the regard?

In general, beef is safe to eat raw, or partially cooked, chicken and pork are usually not. So it wouldn’t make much sense to ask you how you want your chicken done, the cook isn’t going to undercook it.
