It's called title case and for as far as I'm aware this is a uniquely American thing.

German capitalizes all nouns, not just then proper ones, so missing title case doesn't change much.

But surely it'll help in this case, where an article is being published in English and being shared on an English language forum.

It’s from newspaper headlines - using lower case starts to words looks really weird when the word is an inch plus tall on the paper.

That's just because you're not used to that, many European languages don't have title case and newspapers still look perfectly okay.
