Why do so many recipes ask for kosher salt?

I read a lot of recipes online and a lot of them from the US ask for kosher salt. I see the need for Jews to use only kosher ingredients including salt. What I don’t know is why non Jewish people would specifically use kosher salt. Isn’t salt just salt?

Thank you! It never occurred to me that it’s only describing the grain size and not the Jewish diet.
