I'm not familiar with the pictures you're referencing, but annotation should be second nature if you're an active reader. Books should not be one-way conversations. In the course of the argument/explanation, you should be analyzing the turns taken or connections made.
That's probably the most common reason for annotation for me, it makes it easier to go back and analyze the text. Other major reasons: allusion/reference, relation, disagreement, paraphrasing.
Basically, annotation is your side of the conversation with the book, created in the course of reading.

Some accounts I enjoy visually (if you feel like looking) are @pageswithv , @posiesandpagies , and @hxreads on instagram. My question isn’t so much why people annotate it’s more how do people have the time to annotate in that way, whilst still reading a decent amount of books

When you get money from posting these pictures, you have time to do almost anything to make the picture look perfect, including annotating
