By users who do not read the IANA submissions before using a tag they
saw and think fits their use case.

A bit like people who see "de-DE, fr-FR, it-IT" and then produce
"jp-JP (or ja-JA), en-EN" and similar tags.

You can't completely prevent people from doing stuff they do not
understand, but sometimes the potential for mistaken use can be
lessened by the choice of term.
