Why do people capitalize Random words in their sentences these days?

My Favorite Is People That Capitalize The First ~~Word~~ Letter Of Every ~~Letter~~ Word For No Reason.

First word of every letter?

Also I believe this is because some text fields are accidentally recognized as name inputs? It seems to happen automatically for my friends sometimes.

I think I was so focused on making sure to capitalize correctly that I got scrambled.

Boomers have done it for years as a lazy erratic way to emphasize words, seemingly because of all the accumulated lead setting in, and boomer heroes like Trump do it all the time, normalizing it further.
