I imagine this probably emerged from blogger’s SEO efforts.
“I’m blogging about habits - the small kind - and I want readers to know at a glance, let’s call them micro habits”.
I don’t love it, but I think I understand how it came to be.

I think that’s also the unstated point behind “micro habits”. These things are achievable, and oh look, you’ve fully formed a useful habit: reading books.
I think this approach is targeting a very specific type of audience - an audience that wants to make changes, but they want the easy way. They gravitate to gimmicks and buzzwords.
Even though it may seem unnecessary on the surface, if it’s actually leading to results for people who wouldn’t have otherwise made the change (perhaps due to feeling like the thing was too big to tackle), I say why not.
And I’m probably not the target audience, either.
