Definition 29.5.5. Let $X$ be a scheme. Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a quasi-coherent $\mathcal{O}_ X$-module of finite type. The scheme theoretic support of $\mathcal{F}$ is the closed subscheme $Z \subset X$ constructed in Lemma 29.5.4.

I am wondering if there is any reason why the support defined in this way deserves the name "scheme theoretic support", and not the one defined using the Fitting ideal sheaf of ? I think the latter bahaves nicer in famillies as its formation commutes with arbitrary base change, which is not the case for the former.

This is the definition used most often in the literature.
