It's simply people who dont care at all about a board game called chess.They play for fun till their COD server gets players back up. No need to shame them. It's not as if you will win tons of money by playing good chess here.
Why do beginers play this?

Yeah my dad taught me and he had zero patience for ignorance back then (and still does). If I opened a game h4 Rh3 I would've been eating that rook lol. Control the center boy! Knights before bishops boy!

If you learned from a chess player then you were probably told immediately some very basic things and never did it.
If you learned from a 5x11 piece of paper with the rules (well, maybe not all the rules regarding en-passant, castling, and promotion as CN notes) then you make it up as you go along.
And anyway, as I noted, it's a very reasonable try if you don't know anything.

It's definitely common. 2 reasons I can think of...
1. The rook's movement is the easiest to understand.
2. They are unaware of the value of the pieces.
This is something I draw attention to actually in my "Beginner to Chess Master" series.

i agree
Some beginners have been taught very badly by someone (relative or friend). I never played 1.h4 or 1.a4 when I was starting to learn chess.

Is it really that common? I didn't make moves that bad even when I was 6 years old. No joke.

ur talking about kids not beginners. Even you would not choose that line.
Because they don't listen to their coaches pleading "control the center!"

There is a big theory attached with it.. You need to dig deeper in the theory to understand why beginners play this!
Thoery is:: BECAUSE THEY ARE SIMPLY BEGINNERS
I remember when I began to play chess. It was me and a neighbor friend, both children, with the basic rules in hand and a small traveler's set. We did lots of wrong moves, including ilegal ones. The first time I got contact with real chess playing, in a football club, I asked so many question to the players, and then I began to see the light! There is a book here in Brazil that is a must to everyone trying to learn chess (Xadrez Basico - Basic Chess).
They advised me to study this book before playing again. Then I really learned. Well, I still make mistakes, but this may explain why new players play like this. The easy thing of the computer maybe make their minds a little lazy, so they keep repeating the wrong moves, without realizing that those moves are wrong... that is what I think.
One thing I remember well, those players I mentioned above, where all the time kind to me, they smiled and helped me to learn.

We will always make mistakes... As beginners , one mistake in almost every move! If we become GMs , one mistake in 100 games! That's the difference...
Challenge: try to estimate the ratings of black and white here.
They deserve negative ratings, don't you think?
No, because they know how the pieces move. That by itself puts them into positive figures (but not too far, judging by your sample game 
)
