Do you think you correctly formulate the question? Why would we need a format?

You do not need to format anything.
You can use the defaults.
For special formatting, you have to specify formatting. (Hmmm... Rhymes :))

because cout has a different implementation than printf.. :)

The << operator is overloaded. So, the compiler calls to the right function.
