To me, breaking spaghetti is just a big sign that someone is a novice at cooking. It's done because the person thinks they can't fit them in the pot and are too inexperienced to know that the noodles will soften enough in just a few seconds to push them the rest of the way in.
It's less "My Italian ancestors would be horrified" and more "Do you know what you're doing? Would you like some help before you ruin whatever dish you're trying to make?"
Or maybe they have kids who have trouble eating full length spaghetti
Or they want an effortless-to-eat meal, not having to choose between getting all dirty and spending more time rolling the damn pasta on the fork than eating
Then buy differen pasta, maybe? :p
or just break em :p
