Output preset High Quality (ProRes) in 8 Bit Colors?

Question

I noticed that the premade output preset “High Quality, which uses ProRes 422 is set to 16.7 millions colors which is 8-Bit per Channel. Why? ProRes 422 is 10 Bit codec, so the setting should be set to billions colors.
Of course I can change it myself, but in my eyes the preset should be corrected, many people render their movies in bad color quality.
