Some people like it. I would find it annoying except they used to do it all the time in the 18th century and it's kind of fun that an old convention came back.

Obviously it's fallen out of fashion, but it is/was just a shorthand way of writing "and" & it used to be pretty normal to just use it every time. It's not really something you can use "excessively"; either you write "and" as "&" or you don't.

Off-topic, but the writing style seems to use "&" excessively. Did anyone else find that disruptive?
