Why on earth do people say 'on read' instead of 'unread'?

Also, in answer, it's not uncommon. People are busy, or they don't like texting, or they just want some quiet. Loads of reasons.

What? That is not why they are called idioms.

You also misused or misunderstood the two idioms you used, and also listed the internet one, which isn't an idiom.
