This has always bothered me too and it didn't make sense until someone older told me that when they were growing up "scare quotes" were used the way we used *asterisks* or ALL CAPS for emphasis

We stalked the ice cream truck, the same Mister Softee that’s been roaming this neighborhood since my childhood, following the intermittent music in the distance until we finally crossed paths with it. Then we walked home with chocolate sprinkle cones in hand, old fashioned under the streetlights, sweet and cold against the sticky warmth of the night.
