that kinda just pushes the question back a step though. why did they write that way on postcards? did prior generations also write on postcards like that?

My guess is it’s one of those “the medium is the message” things. Postcards have this odd combination of being both a medium of sentimentality, but also brevity. There’s no room for flowery language, so it ends up with emotional but sparse prose. To the point but no real point.
