What's with the craze for finding conspirational incentives?

There's a repeatable pattern where commenters hallucinate an unreasonable incentive for everything.

Motivations are difficult to discern (see courtrooms), and it is a modern vice to try and analyse incentives, but too often the cause-and-effect imaginations are not even reasonable guesses, but are just pure fiction.

My best guess (based off word choices made) is that we all love to create new stories/narratives, that fit into our personal tribal stories.
