If the original Famicom was a Japanese only system, why did it say “Family Computer” in English and not in Japanese?

Is it common for Japanese brands to use English alphabet and words like this?

It’s not everyday that we get a rail shooter from a major company like Nintendo, with a budget and production quality than indie developers just can’t match. I remember he was a big defender of Starfox Zero.

I wondered this after playing RE5 and DeadSpace recently. I know people joke about this, but is there a technical/hardware reason for why so many games (across different engines) in this era used browns and grays so heavily? Or was it just a ubiquitous aesthetic choice? Did people think this looked good at the time (and do they still think it looks good now)? I just don’t really understand why or how it happened.
