Side note: Why does every GitHub readme look like a children’s book these days? Emojis, big colorful graphics, gifs, cute project logo, etc. Makes me feel awkward trying to read about a serious topic with the “:o” emoji staring in my face. I’m just waiting for the air horns to start blaring and a dancing cat to slide across my screen.

Because you're dealing with humans and sometimes humans don't behave in the same way you apparently expect everyone to? These aren't massive billion dollar corps they're some engineer or group of engineers doing something interesting to them.
In this case it seems related to a university, so these are students and researchers at a university. Some of them are very likely qualifiable as kids to us old people.
Not sure why it's such a bother to you, does a topic need to be cold and black and white for it to further our technological research? (That's hypothetical because this repo, for instance, absolutely furthers our tech abilities while also being in a more friendly non-academic format.)
you could also ask why does serious writing often avoid adding big colorful graphics if it looks better.

The closer to discord a community is the more things look this way, at least that's my interpretation.
Do you use syntax highlighting?
Emojis are part of the common vernacular now, and software development is a mainstream career instead of a siloed off nerd-haven.
Couldn't agree more!
Because it's more inviting than to just people who like text alone.

I love that this exists
Me too.
Not to say a study can’t often be found for most viewpoints.
