You think people with accents do it on purpose?

How do you feel about people who talk to you in a fake accent for no reason whatsoever?

This looks like the same thing.

Looks like it, but it often is not.

Affectation is one thing, but the behaviour you describe is as much cultural and contextual as it is affectation. Just like an accent.

Very very much not worth thinking about too hard, except for its anthropological implications. IMO, of course.
