I don't know that it's an LLM thing generally speaking. Axios has been using it standardized for a while now, and god I hate it, but I can see it being copied by other outlets as useful to retain the attention of brainrotted readers who lack the discipline to read past the headline. I thought the same thing, though, before I remembered how long Axios has been doing it and that it's probably a reasonably successful format for short-form articles.
