It's for insecure assholes to feel a sense of superiority over anyone dumber than them. They think that if they've "learned" some new word, it means they're smarter than people who don't know this word, which means they're better. It's the obverse of the "might makes right" coin, but brains over brawn.

One asshole typed up you can look this up in a dictionary. He actually thinks everyone who has a problem with this method of communication must be too dumb to have figured out the meaning of the word on their own.

And that's the same kind of asshole who uses the word "utilize" anywhere and everywhere he can because it has two more syllables than "use." Completely insecure about his own intelligence and place in the world, his only recourse is to try to cut down other people by playing the "look at my vocabulary" game. These people never grew up. They still live in the old high school nerds vs. jocks tropes.
