For those of us who learned to type, typing u instead of you will take longer because of muscle memory. I’m using glide typing on a phone for this and I still had to slow down to type u instead of you.
Well you’re used to writing “you” instead of “u” while texting (for the record, I also always write “you”). Similiarly, a lot of people (namely those who grew up with phones), are used to omitting full stops at the end of a message, so if someone does it it must be a conscious decision. See where I’m going with this? (Also it’s not like people who use them are immediately sounding passive-aggressive, context matters)
I use Anysoft Keyboard on Android, and it has a toggle for that behavior, which I have off. I don’t know which software keyboard you’re using, but you might check whether it has such a toggle.
Leaving out unnecessary characters makes you type faster, that’s also why people write u instead of you sometimes

My phone keyboard adds so many unwanted periods, sometimes between every word.
