What Will said, but also think of it this way.
Your accurate follower count is my lack of privacy.
Why should you know if I'm following you?
How do you know if I'm following you?
If I create an npub and I don't post or interact at all, but I simply follow a bunch of other npubs I'm interested in, why should you know about that?
It's a different take on the world, but it's an important part of freedom.
