That's a side effect of people bashing the em-dash and the labs rushing to correct. The period is the most common replacement (along with some minor tweaks to sentence structure), so now that models are being RL'd away from the em-dash the models are overusing a new construction.
That's stupid. People didn't bash the em dash because it was an em dash. They bashed it because it made it obvious it was AI. If your product is so good why are your customers ashamed of using it?
Honest take: people aren't ashamed of using AI, they're trying to avoid being cancelled by rabidly anti-AI ideologues who would hate AI output even if it was the best thing they'd ever seen.
