Because every character used to cost, both in page real estate and ink on page. Today, it still does in page real estate even if the bits that make up the page are basically free.

Makes some kind of sense, I just feel like it hurts readability way too much to be acceptable.

Like "Norway, Sweden makes energy deal with Denmark, Germany" is very hard to parse, reads like Norway is a place in Sweden and Denmark a place in Germany.
