Because that's what the lines:

\begin{tabularx}%
{\linewidth}{l|Y||Y||Y||Y||Y||Y||Y||Y||}

tell it to do. Note that the first character is an "ell" not a vertical
rule. Reading the directive gives:

left vert Y vert vert Y vert vert Y ...

Try this one instead:

 {\linewidth}{||l||Y||Y||Y||Y||Y||Y||Y||Y||}

or modify accordingly.

PS It would be better to post a *minimal* example rather than one
requiring various packages, etc. I suspect if you constructed such a
minimal example you might have answered your own question in the
process.
