Simply because it's wrong and ... there are other difficult words in the English language than "criterion" which non-native English speaking users don't understand at once in jv16 PowerTools I guess... Therefore there are the many translations of the program.
English speaking people having mastered their syntax, (should) know the expression "one criteria" is WRONG.
Besides that applies to other languages also: in Dutch e.g., "criterium" is the basic word and "criteria" is the plural. "Criterium" is always used as singular and "criteria" always as plural and that's how it is!
When you want to sell a good program, the language used should be correct also, but we all know the developer is a non-native speaking English person too, so it's rather normal he's making syntax errors.
And as to "data" in the sense of "information" I already have explained here in this forum, it's always a plural and nothing else.
As far as I'm concerned the word could be replaced by "parameter" or "argument", with a preference for the latter.
