Space before punctuation

I really want to put this in AIBU because I think it is highly U, but I'll probably get flamed, so ...

Could someone please explain why people keep leaving gaps before punctuation marks ? It happens with brackets ( like this ,sometimes causing the closing parenthesis to be on the wrong line completely ) and sometimes you get a list where the first item ,then the second item ,then the third all have this weird comma placement.

It's so annoying !

Is it an autocorrect thing, or do people actually think that's how punctuation should be typed ?

I do it because I think it looks better, and I don’t care what others think !

Well I think 1 + 1 = 5 looks better. 😏
