Maybe it starts when we let our young ones use slug guns unsupervised, and the habits start from there?

Or maybe I'm just a silly old fart, worrying about nothing.

Possibly

If I had just given a range brief (Have probably given hundreds) and included/stressed against the events you described. And then witnessed someone doing them. They would be on the receiving end, of some very loud yet well constructed abuse and told to leave the mound for the rest of the event.
