Actually, this makes a lot more sense than "addictive".

"It's really annoying".
"It's really irritating".
"It's really frustrating".
"It's really fascinating".

Sure, it's a bit suggestive that a very derivative suffix should be more active, but the alternative is apparently a bit more frequent, making "addicting" a very good candidate for a new word in this context

If only trends like this had the slightest thing to do with English language use.

Actually, analogies like those are part of all languages

Where do you think that word came from?

Granted, but you know English is a complete mash-up of a language with endless exceptions to rules and idiosyncratic examples. "Addicting" sounds like the kind of mistake a non-native speaker would make.

I do, that's the one thing I love about it.

However, there's always a structural pressure "forcing" the verbs and nouns to become regular. That's why some verbs like "dive" have two different forms in the past (dived/dove). Whoever says "addicting" is probably making an analogy with those other adjectives I mentioned.

I might have been hanged by my well hung cock when I was born instead of my umbilical cord.
