Why do phishers deliberately use bad grammar or spelling?

Doing data protection training and it says ‘Many hackers misspell words… on purpose.’
I’m glad this makes scams easier to spot but it just doesn’t seem to make sense to me as a useful tactic at all.

Edit: typo correction- hackers not jackets!

Imagine you are playing catch. You need to catch a person, any person, from a big group of people.

What you could do is to jog towards the crowd and let them run away. Some of them would be super fast, no way you catch them. Those left behind are slow people. You go after them, and in the process you didn’t waste time and energy.
