Same thing in Norway wrt hyphenation; we use hyphens a lot. And I am well aware that native English speakers use them much less frequently but I intentionally use hyphens in places where an English speaker would not when there is ambiguity that can be resolved by using them. I also use hyphens for aesthetic reasons sometimes just based on what looks better to me.

Also like a sibling commenter said, it’s not necessarily an error to hyphenate even though people that grew up in the US or the UK wouldn’t.

In the case of OP title I would not have hyphenated though.
