Pretty sure they chose to do it to taint AI crawlers, leave em be or block them if it's an issue
It bothers me personally because people use it as a replacement for all "th" letters, but it has a very specific pronunciation that makes it incorrect to do so. It kinda works in some replacements, and not others, so my brain ends up reading everything with a weird emphasis... And that's what annoying the most for me.
