I assume you mean C++ here?

In any case, in my experience this bad practice comes from Java devs who’ve moved to C++.

Java Disease is its own topic.

But most shared pointer ownership in C is wholly ad hoc, without even reference counting.

No, I mean C. People don't do that in C++, since C++ provides ways to define value semantics (copy, move, assignment).
