It isn't necessarily because they're uneducated people - greed overrules the need for proofreading.
And just for the record: I wasn't taught grammar in a traditional sense at (public) school. The New South Wales government thought it would overburden young minds to teach them the tenants of grammar, and thought people could learn grammar by osmosis (or something).
I hope I haven't made too many grammatical errors..
I think you may perhaps mean "the tenets of grammar" rather than the "tenants" .
