All we really want is the mkfs filesystem type, i.e. the ${FS} in mkfs.${FS}
So
sed -e 's/.*mkfs.//g'
should work,
awk -F . '{print $NF}' would work too
$ cat mkfses
/usr/sbin/mkfs.ext4
/sbin/mkfs.ext4
$ cat mkfses | awk -F . '{print $NF}'
ext4
ext4
$ cat mkfses | sed -e 's/.*mkfs.//g'
ext4
ext4

mkfs.xfs & mkfs.btrfs are the only filesystems I know of which check for
an existing format before proceeding, so they are the only ones
tested. Any other fs is skipped, because they are not designed to
do what this test is... testing for.

I think it's just a design decision. There's no actual requirement to warn about overwriting
a format, so not doing so is not a failure or a bug, IMHO.
