Grade school grammar is not a proxy for intellect or education. I’ve never read an author who had half the respect for grammar that Chat GPT does.

Not everyone is equally educated on grammar. Not everyone cares about using proper grammar.
If you’re asking for a deeper sociological or psychological reason, then grab some books education disparity, poverty, public schooling, etc.
