ELI5: Why do most people talk to pets with a higher pitched voice?

Most people that I've met talk to their pets, or animals in general, with a higher pitched voice. Why is that?

Habit and social convention mainly

But pets (especially dogs) tend to respond more positively to higher pitched sounds than lower pitches. Most likely it has to do with the lower pitched sounds (like growls and deep barks) being more aggressive/negative then higher pitcher sounds (yelps, howls, playful barks) etc in the wild.

But mainly just because it's a habit people have gotten into.
