WHY DO PEOPLE EVER WRITE IN PRESENT TENSE THOUGH

Honourable mention to the people that write like this:

"Tim would walk across the road." instead of "Tim walked across the road."

It doesn't sound like a much, but when you read three paragraphs of it, you end up confused... like, thinking you've just read a hypothetical outcome to a character's situation, as opposed to what's actually happened/going to happen.
