I really don't think they're doing it on purpose. Myers/Meyers is more common than Meyer, and that's probably why people add the "s:" most iterations of the name that they've seen include it.

My opinion, by the way, is based on my own experiences with my maiden name. My family's variant did not have an "s" attached, but the more common variant of it did, so it was not unusual for people to tag the "s" onto my name. They didn't do it to piss me off; they did it because they were relying on cognitive heuristics, which is both understandable and entirely human.
