I used to agree with you, and to an extent I still do, but being able to carry the reader through the text by providing filler makes my writing appear more clear even if it's actually has lower information density.
I do this with speaking, too. I used to be a bit of an abrasive engineer and just "tell it like it is" but after hitting a communication wall I started to coddle the listener and people really like it. I personally think it's unfortunate but it is what it is.
It seems that ChatGPT learned from Recipes webpages. Include a story on how the author's parents had sex on a beach in Maui which sparked the author's desire for Mango Passion Fruit Cakes.
In fact, just like I have a limited amount of keystrokes in my lifetime (which incidentally I'm spending on this post) I have a limited amount of time to go through text.
Soon I'll start skipping the longer ones.
