Maybe they drafted it on a phone where capitalization is harder. My guess is the all-lowercase world is mostly people who do most of their text creation on phones and similar, not keyboards.

I don’t really see how capitalization is harder on phones, I do it all the time.

if you turned on the autocorrects and spell checks etc, would automatically capitalize your sentences. Even when you don't want them to!
