I've noticed a lot number of questions on reddit/etc. suddenly gets asked in that way ("why" in front of a statement). As an ESL I was confused for a while because I've been drilled in asking questions using auxiliary verbs.

    I blame explanatory headlines. If you searched "why does [blank] happen?" you'd get articles like "why [blank] happens." ESL speakers (and under-educated native speakers) bungle the difference. (They're already trying to solve some technical crap. Their [blank] stopped working.) As this spreads, reddit and Stack Overflow start displacing tech-support blogs, and suddenly the headlines themselves are wrong.
