I see this in a lot of websites i visit.
I usually inspect them just out of curiosity.

Or when they upgrade their UI/UX and they just broke a lot of features.

That is probably because you are occasionally looking at the headers using browser developer tools, but it’s a whole different experience when you are running something like Snort or Wireshark.
