I don't think it's deliberate. They just don't care enough to expend effort on aiming the light correctly. Maybe they don't care because they don't realize the effect it has on others. They get lights that are actually twice as bright as they need to be, adjust them so that half the light goes forward and down like it should, and they're happy. Never mind that the rest of the light is blinding others.

I do not remember precisely if someone complained to me or if I was blinded by other cyclists' lights, but I did eventually start pointing my light entirely towards the ground.
