I imagine it's an artifacting of trying to transcribe everything from their native language into English.

Nah, it's to try and bypass the spam filters. It worked well at one point, and still works in some situations (eg. Facebook's auto-mod is quite bad at catching it), but email filters - especially large ones like GMail's - have long since caught onto this, and pretty much see that kind of writing as a bigger red flag than the content of the message itself nowdays.
