Browsing on mobile, I think it would provide a better user experience to open links in the same tab.

Yup, if I want a new tab I can middle-click, or long-click, or whatever.

At best this is just arrogance from the website developer thinking they know best.

It's personal preference. I can write it however I want and you can decide to use it or not.
