Because as you point out yourself, there really is no need for that abbreviation. You could say "do_stuff" and it would have approximately the same meaning, but not be an undecipherable, ambiguous abbreviation.

Yes, but it's not the only occasion it's being used. "That must be a bug or sth" is another possibility, for example.

  That "or sth" seems entirely superfluous.

    "That must be a bug, or the result of hardware failure, or an erroneous report from the user, or maybe there's some other possibility I haven't thought of."

      That would be "something else." The else is important.

        And implicit when someone ends a sentence with "or something".
