How people who don't stop to think about things and are accustom to taking most things at face value say "For all intents and purposes."
My math teacher as a lead-in to some math point said "Well, for all intensive purposes..."
She was a young ditzy female who as her day job taught math and as her night job did modern dance. EXACTLY the type of person you would expect to say "For all intensive purposes."

An all-purpose idiot is someone who is downright stupid and has no idea what they are doing. The term originated from M*A*S*H
(The camp was to be inspected by General Macauthur so Frank was in charge of duty rosters)
Hawkeye: What do you mean no orderlies?
Trapper: They're all out manicuring the rocks, I couldn't even get an X-Ray on this guy.
Hawkeye: Are we running a hospital or a motel for visiting demi-gods?
Trapper: It's Frank Burns the all-purpose idiot.

A reintepration of the earlier phrase "for all intents and purposes", the phrase means "virtually" or "for all practical purposes".
For all intensive purposes the phrase "for all intensive purposes" is identical to "for all intents and purposes", and anyone who continues to make the distinction is a soulless pedant.

YouTube's shitty algorithm thought that I was looking for half naked big tits, when in reality I was searching for 'Escape from Tarkov'
