Yet the actual application of sharia varies from country to country. Isn't that strange.

I'm having fun showing how clueless you are.
In that case, you have done a rather poor job until now. Perhaps you meant to say that you are just trolling.

Should be rather obvious. A system that might be called 'democracy' today might not be called one tomorrow, rendering the word rather useless through inherent volatility.

It's like if death penalty only counts as death penalty if it was issued for 'non-serious crimes', where the collection of serious crimes can be defined and re-defined over and over.

"They don't practice death penalty in the US; only serious crimes can get anyone executed by the state after trial."
"They practice democracy in the US; the state there respects human rights."

See how robust either of the two statements are when it comes to preserving the deeper information they are capable of storing.
