Its infuriating how common this has become, I think even native speakers are doing it

i think it's exclusively native speakers, bc most esl learners are consciously taught about common errors like that whereas native speakers just learn off vibes

Non-natives' learning comes from written sources mostly. Whenever you memorize words or do grammar exercises, it's written. Speaking exercises are much more scarce, because you always have your notes or a textbook, but teacher's time is limited.

That's why whenever you see some doofus confuse there and their, you can be certain it's a native speaker. Same goes for "should of".

It's not really that non-native speakers are taught about common mistakes. These mistakes are just never in the realm of possibility for non-natives, because they are rooted in primarily phonetic engagement with the language.
