Because that's just what you think is the core issue (without having any basis to do so), and not what Facebook thinks is the core issue.
How do I know? Well, here's what the actual cease-and-desist letter[1] says right at the top:
> Facebook has gathered evidence that your Chrome extension "Unfollow Everything for Facebook" facilitates unauthorized functionality on Facebook. Specifically, your extension automates action on Facebook, including mass following and unfollowing of Friends, Pages, and Groups. Your extension also impermissibly makes use of Facebook's trademarks. These activities violate Facebook's terms.
So, please, let's stop with pulling things out of thin air to make Facebook look better. They wrote in no unclear terms that they perma-banned the author for the functionality of this app.
