My first 3 guesses:
Struggle to earn attention
Unwillingness to accept criticism
Over-abstraction habit
Unlike synesthetes, IMHO.

Synesthetes I know (or know of: Nabokov, prolly Shakespeare) balance concrete & abstract uncommonly well; crackpots, uncommonly poorly.

Also, grapheme->color synesthesia would give the author of a B&W wall of text the sensation of a riot of color...why add color after?

There's commonly a distaste for text where graphemes are near others of clashing color...imagine adding real color would exacerbate.
