Short questioning sounds like this became a staple of anime inspired editing because they express confusion faster than a full line of dialogue. The ehhh is shared as a standalone reaction clip for videos, streams and group chats, often paired with a blushing or puzzled character face. Its very brief length makes it easy to layer over other audio without covering speech. It remains popular because the cute delivery softens the reaction, keeping even awkward or embarrassing moments light and playful rather than rude or frustrated for viewers.
