I am sure in the past we used to say “it needs to be done.” Or “it needs doing”.

Why do people now say “it needs done”?

I hate it.

Aibu?

Regionally acceptable and occurs frequently, although 'non-standard'.

I've heard it and yes it's bloody annoying. I'm West Midlands in case it's regional 🤷

Literally never heard anyone say this

Nor me. Appalling grammar

I’ve honestly never heard anyone say that. Whereabouts are you? Perhaps it’s regional.
