I can think of three reasons why they might be:
1. Your contract is really confusing and looks like it benefits the counter party at face value, but actually benefits you upon close inspection. These things can help with that. It's "dark arts" to apply this technique, and there are various shades of gray, but it happens.
2. It might cost less to have your lawyer correct these things. If I (lawyer) correct them and the the other lawyer has to read them and debate them with me, we're spending client money.
3. "Non-standard capitalization" for most purposes is standard in legal contracts. As lawyers we are more used to non standard than standard. I don't know what center-embedded means, and for passive voice, I'd need to see the example. Passive voice can be helpful as ambiguity can pull more possibilities into play, if desired. E.g.: "there shall be no fraudulent use of party A's intellectual property" is broader than "party b shall not use party a's intellectual property."
