Obviously, so that you'll survive when someone writes an app that uses the Twitter API to communicate with the Blackwater Mercenary API to kill everyone who unfollows you with a snarky message. Of course, it will all fall apart when Google buys them out in a high-profile acquisition, and one of their engineers accidentally adds "walled garden" to the snark detection heuristic, which results in Facebook inadvertently putting a hit out on every single open source developer on the planet due to a mass simultaneous unfollowing in the aftermath of yet another content privacy maelstrom.
Or... I dunno. It's kinda awkward, I guess. Sometimes.
