A bit like autumn and fall. When the pilgrim fathers left England, we used to call it leaves fall. It just got shortened. But I'll never understand why the Americans say "erb" when the word "herb" quite clearly has an "h" in it.
Who cares what you think. American English is being used in America. It is not the official language but again, who cares? Makes sense to me.

If you hired a camera the photographer/operator was included.

For the same reason we pronounce "honor" as on-er as opposed to hon-er. It clearly has an "h" as well.
Spanish makes more sense. The H is always silent, not just sometimes.
