I think it's part of the TikTok trend of "I'm not interesting enough to hold your attention, so here's a distraction for your underdeveloped zoomer brains"
You see the same on YouTube shorts or those reading Reddit articles where it's usually GTA, racing or Minecraft footage in the background as there's narration.
It's not just short attention span, it's their content isn't engaging at all when you consider cooking shorts are very popular and they're just cooking.
I remember seeing tons of videos like 10+ years ago where it'd just be some guy ranting aimlessly into a microphone while Counter Strike or Calladuty footage played in the background. At first I thought they were captures from streams or something until I realized that no, they're literally just playing their voice over a completely unrelated video game to make it seem more interesting.
It quickly became a litmus test for people whose opinions are very boring and unnecessary.

I was really hoping it wouldn’t be something THAT retarded. I feel very old, now.
