In my experience, those things go hand in hand with really superficial characterization. Like, the author doesn't really know how to write France in character, so they throw in "honhonhon" because they think it makes their dialogue sound better.
Or alternatively, it's a really old fic because if I remember right, using those was pretty common even in serious fics around 2009 or so.
