It was popping up before that. You can thank Square Cash for suddenly dominating the POS terminal market, and leaving the tipping option on by default since they get a cut of that too. Then of course employers left it on so they could tell employees "well yeah, the job only pays minimum wage because you get tips!". Once again, it all boils down to the greed of the wealthy.
BTW, if you have to tip every time you spend money, then you're not making any extra money by getting tips, you're really experiencing a net loss, and subsidizing the wages for rich business owners everywhere you go.
