Because trashy people never saw Austin Powers and updated their use of quotation marks to denote sarcasm.

Quotation marks were historically used to add emphasis to text, the way asterisks are used today. Old people who refuse to change and don't realize their way of writing is actively making fun of themselves still use them this way. These are also the people who watch Fox.
