I fully agree with you. However, I like semicolons. They feel very chaotic because nobody knows what they do exactly.
They separate different clauses that don't necessarily have to be two separate sentences. It can be used in place of a comma where you would follow with but, and, or, nor, for, so and yet.
I have a shirt, but it is itchy.
I have a shirt; it is itchy.
It's not some kind of linguistics witchcraft 😬 of course some people know how to use them and some don't.
I have no idea why comments like yours are prevalent here; imma head out.
