Well, put it this way: why is Donald Trump listed on Twitter as @realDonaldTrump?

If you don't snatch up your (organization's) name first, someone will surely do so for you.

(Honestly not trying to incite anything by using him as an example; I just hardly use Twitter and he was the first to come to mind.)

They own the non “real” one too, he’s just too much of a tool to use it.

Probably acquired later and didn't want to lose his followers.
