LOL, i have noticed this actually, and idk, its just their accent.

Where did you hear that from?

Yeah, Brits say it all the time. I think it's great for some reason.
Mo says it quite a few times here: https://youtu.be/AEfO8Uk2iYs?t=40s -
I have never heard this other than from people with a slight lisp

I think you meant Australian not Austrian.

Laziness and fitting in with friends, usually.
Kids, especially in London, are starting to replace the 'th' sound in lots of words with a 'f'. It makes them sound stupid. -

People in the American Souf say stuff like that because they talk lazy.
People in Britain say it like that because they don't have teef. -

An accent is a different sound of speech that is still correct. Adding Fs for th and throwing in Rs where there is no R even remotely necessary is something else entirely. -
