Because we are embedded in tech monopolies, something like three companies' products need to add those words in order for them to end up in documents. #Microsoft and #Apple are now de-facto the Acadamie Anglais. Not people determining language, but companies imposing it.

But I don't think that's exactly what's going on, here. I think voice-to-text and spellcheckers added those words, and probably many others, and we're all just kind of going with it.

I have noticed a lot of official sources uses "gonna" and "wanna" in writing. This has been happening for a while.
So look, language evolves. Words come into existence when speakers of a language choose to use them, and people have been saying "gonna" and "wanna" for at least many decades, possibly centuries.
