I think some people do it out of being extremely petty, as a way to “own” China. Like China cares what John Youtube calls their party. There is also the attempts to deligitimatize it from standard Communist Party naming conventions (Communist Part of Country) and to highlight racial elements instead.
I honestly think a lot of people just do it out of ignorance. The first group is so pervasive that I think a lot of people just legitimtately think CCP is the correct term without knowing better.
I also think a majority of people do it because they genuinely believe thats the proper way to say the name and its abbreviation, although the way it started is more nefarious. Maybe “nefarious” is a bit dramatic but it is extremely annoying especially when people in politics that interact with the CPC a lot should know better, and they probably do but say the party name wrong just to be spiteful.
