That would be because it is shit
I am sure film courses tell the students that these things are 'cool' and mandatory when making exciting film. It seems these days the `joke` that media colleges are playing is that the camera cannot stay still and must be moved at all times. We had a guy fresh from the course doing camera for us one time and the director wanted the camera to stay still and focussed on the scene while the people walked out. The cameraman had been taught that you HAVE to follow the actors out and would not stop moving the camera to the degree that we had to send him out of the room to stop him doing it after the fifth take...
"Right, take 5. Ben, this time take your hands off the camera and do not touch it"
"OK"
"Rolling, Action"
...
"Cut. Did you just move the camera?"
"Yes, but..."
"Get out"
