Maybe because they are cheap. The economic situation has deteriorated and people don't have much money to spend. Unfortunately, poverty has also penetrated the world of music, and when sound and mixing engineers wear these glasses, the situation for everyone else is deplorable.
The glasses thing maybe the related to the same moronic reasoning that is being used by almost 50% of the car driving public these days - turning lights on in the middle of the day for no reason at all. I can see it now. Dipshit driver: "But officer I didn't see them because they didn't have their lights on!!" Police Officer: "Well, excuse me sir, but it's the middle of the day, the sun is out, and visibility is completely clear" Police Officer: "Sir, exactly how did you get a driver's license?"
Late reply, but yesterday I was too busy having heart attacks while watching the football match thriller Inter Milan vs FC Barcelona. BTW, many including me didn't notice the "humor" section. Happens here usually, but that's another topic. I'm a cheeky jokester myself, 8 years ago probably I could have made a similar thread. Sadly, nowadays the universal hobby in the world is to get offended and be an extremist with any sensitive subject. Words like r*pist, p*dophile, groomer, sexist, fascist, incel and so on are considered way worse and at the same time are used more lightly than ever. Suckz ballz.

These people are usually poor and achieve their goals through violent and illegal means. Unfortunately, poverty is the root of most crimes. Poor people don't even have the money for glasses and have to wear cheap glasses like the one in the first post.
