Why people would write code of that sort (except for codegolf) is beyond me.
The most common reason I saw (is not specific to this problem) was when a dev had to add some new logic, instead of refactoring the ternary expression into an if, switch or separate to functions, or objects or whatever added the new complexity in place.
The reasons why that happened were various, excuses like "I was in a hurry", "I didn't had the time to understand the code" and so on were common.
Fear of refactoring is a common problem in projects without tests and/or devs without the desire to write good code, or just insane release schedule, you know, common problems.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
