As for why players are doing this? Well, console players almost entirely use standard controllers to play Battlefield 6 across Xbox Series and PS5 machines. These controllers offer less accuracy than a keyboard & mouse, and as such Battlefield Studios (as well as the developers of many, many other games) offer a degree of aim assist to bridge the gap between hardware. It's worth noting that Battlefield 6's aim assist is getting nerfed in the near future, though the 25 percent recoil reduction for controller users is going to stick around for a while longer at least. So those being burned by controller users should hopefully feel a little less frustration moving forward.

Okay, so what are all these tweaks to settings actually doing? Well, Uniform Infantry Aiming keeps your aiming sensitivity the same regardless of what you're doing - whether aiming down your sights or shooting from the hip. It's very useful, which is why it's been left on. However, Zoom Transition Sensitivity Smoothing attempts to add additional sensitivity to your aim when aiming-down-sights.In layperson's terms, with default settings enabled, your aiming sensitivity was sped up whenever you aimed down your sights.
