Why publish a mirror image?

I see a lot of mirror images taken from iphones and published. Why is this desirable? I cannot get my phone to do this at all.

iPhone 8, iOS 16

Go to Settings > Camera > Mirror Front Photos, and change it to whichever method you prefer. It is a users preference on if they want their photos taken with the selfie camera to be mirrored or not.
