Yes, because it is the first. The original ASCII charset had only this all-purpose character for all kinds of hyphens, dashes, and minus.

In Unicode, there are additionally a separate hyphen (U+2010) and minus (U+2212), as well as lots of different dashes.

The hyphen-minus (kept in Unicode for compatibility reasons) is what you have to use on the SoX command line, but minus (U+2212) is used in the HTML documentation.
