Why is it normal to capitalise every first letter of a word in titles now? Has it always been like this? Is it AI? Am i dumb?

Thank U 🧀🥦

    The same reason we capitalize peoples’ names like that, since a title is the proper name of a written work.

          In my native language just the first word gets capitalized in a title. I don’t think anyone ever explained to me why English capitalizes (almost) every word.
