In this case, those hyphens should be em dashes (a great punctuation mark).
Use them when trying to split up a sentence — like when you need to inject information that breaks the sentence flow — without splitting it into multiple sentences. They’re like parentheses that emphasize their information instead of quietly setting it to the side.
On Windows, the alt code is 0151. On Android (and iOS?), just hold down on the hyphen key and choose the longest option. No clue how to get it on macOS.

Thanks for the correction and explanation!
