Because you're dealing with humans and sometimes humans don't behave in the same way you apparently expect everyone to? These aren't massive billion dollar corps they're some engineer or group of engineers doing something interesting to them. In this case it seems related to a university, so these are students and researchers at a university. Some of them are very likely qualifiable as kids to us old people. Not sure why it's such a bother to you, does a topic need to be cold and black and white for it to further our technological research? (That's hypothetical because this repo, for instance, absolutely furthers our tech abilities while also being in a more friendly non-academic format.)
