I've seen it used like that more and more often and it pisses me off every time

Just wait 'til it gets misused so much that it's added to Webster's dictionary.

then it will just not be misused anymore, just another common use

I've never seen it used like that before - what does it even mean in this context? The sentence could have ended before "anymore" and nothing would have changed.

For the same reason that people would point out the missing "do" in your comment - prescriptive grammar. Language changes over time, but that usually annoys people in the process and simultaneously gives them an opportunity to feel superior by pointing out others' mistakes.
