They don't but the word processing software they likely use autocorrects them in. What's next, proper semi-colon use and Oxford commas means you're a bot?

Spelling & Grammar tool just wreaking havok.

I've seen more proper use of the semicolon and oxford commas than em dashes. The em dash is a lot more esoteric, that won't change.

most people aren't writing texts in a fancier word processor than their phone's default. Mine doesn't -- and I doubt every will -- correct them
