This seems related to "ventilated prose", as invented by Buckminster Fuller: https://vanemden.wordpress.com/2009/01/01/ventilated-prose/

I can confirm that while this technique feels odd at first, it does prove very useful when you need to edit or shorten a "wall of text", or express something very concisely. Somehow, the relevant/irrelevant parts of a sentence or thought stand out better this way.

IIRC, I even wrote a simple Vimscript function back in the day to join a "ventilated" secton back into a traditional, coherent sentence.
