I hate, hate hate that english news headlines don't write "and". It's barely longer than a fucking comma, what's the point?

Isn't that.. Just like... How you write titles and names?

I think it would look wrong if the title didn't use title casing.

The news used to be printed on paper, and back in those days every extra character would increase costs. These days it's partly tradition, and partly so the headline doesn't get cut off in embeds
