[kazinator]

The active voice removes the information about what agent is responsible for the action, which has the effect of removing clarity. The reader would like to understand cause-effect chains, whereas the passive sentences indicate that certain actions happen, as if spontaneously.

Passive sentences are used in blame-deflecting language, such as statements that superficially look like apologies, but don't indicate who is at fault, and so do not indicate any acceptance of responsibility.
