    It's the hallmark of the "Advice Animals" category of memes.

    Advice Animals [...] are a type of image macro series featuring animals [...] that are accompanied by captioned text to represent a character trait or an archetype that fits the role of a "stock character". While many Advice Animals use a color wheel background, some use unedited versions of the original photo.

    It's just how they were. That's like asking "why are they all screenshots underneath plain text on a white background?" re memes now.
