They copied what reddit uses. As for why reddit does it that way - I have no idea.

It's the standard Markdown implementation

soviet-hmm Would it be possible for the text in the box you type in to just... appear in the post exactly as you typed it?

You could wrap it in backticks:

text
      exactly
   as       typed

Without the backticks, it becomes:

text exactly as typed

Edit: backticks:

```
text
      exactly
   as       typed
```
