    wouldn’t the doctors adjust the time they prescribe antibiotics for based on this?

    (except for in France, when they give you penicillin for a tiny cut, but you need a prescription for paracetamol)

      Probably depends on the doctor, how well they keep up with research and their general stance on prescribing antibiotics. I think last time I got some was 15 years ago and back then it was “take till empty” IIRC. But after that no more, which could either mean my infections were never of bacterial nature or that my doctors just deemed not necessary enough.
