Contrary to your belief, many people take medications for things like ultra mild rhinitis when it’s not medically necessary.

Those side effects are from 1st generation antihistamines because they cross the blood brain barrier. To my knowledge loratadine and cetirizine do not cause those since they are second generation and do not cross the BBB. That said there should still be some side effects but shouldn’t be that significant.
