Which did you mean?
trunc(SHA-1(x), 24 bits) is equivalent in strength to trunc(SHA-512(x), 24 bits) or SHA-512/24(x) (does it even exist?) in applications that don't depend on collision resistance due to the fact that there is no known vulnerability for SHA-1 in this narrow use.
KDFs and MACs fall into this category.
So, if there is some standard that hard-wires SHA-1, say, for KDF, there is little incentive to change it.
