    Indicates the author is biased and coming from a place of emotion rather than logic.

    It indicates no such thing, unless the extent of your media analysis is

    “What are the vibes of this article? Did the author use third person or first person?”

    Which is no better at telling you logic or facts than consulting chicken entrails.

    Same reason you don’t see emotive writing in academic papers.

    You don’t see emotive writing in academic papers because that’s the standard enforced in journals, not because it’s better.
