English is so hard to learn that even native speakers argue over whether it's "who" or "whom"—and then just avoid the sentence altogether by saying, "That guy!"
This is such a weird little easter egg in English. It's easy for me to grasp, because my first and second languages conjugate similarly to this, with suffixes. The rest of English doesn't though, so I get why especially natives might find it odd or unnecessary.
Having briefly looked it up, it is indeed claimed to be a non-native conjugation element.
