why HTTP is layer Session in WireShark but layer Application in OSI ?

Hello, I noticed WireShark write HTTP in layer 5 (session) in my captures (confirmed in wireshark wiki : https://wiki.wireshark.org/InternetProtocolFamily)

But the OSI model puts it in layer 7 (application) and confirmed by RFC 7230 (the HTTP protocol is stateless).
