Same reason they have random emoji at the ends of each bullet point: it's an intentional forced-quirky vibe.

It has been a part of most major AI open source projects lately, for some reason: https://sigmoid.social/@minimaxir/110951886465291229

I agree that people use emojis waaaay too much for this sort of stuff (see also: certain projects' commit messages, various READMEs).
Imagine getting upset over emojis.

It’s just injecting a little bit of life and visual variance into the text.

The best way to inject a little bit of life into a text is with engaging and vibrant writing, not putting colourful stickers all over it.

I guess the sticker thing works for 6 year olds though.

Good writing is nice, but emojis can certainly make it colorful.

Personally I feel the (excessive) colors can be distracting, but that's just my view.
