Because putting the onus for removal on Patrick is a dick thing to do.

After all, Patrick owes Sebastian exactly nothing, Sebastian writing this piece does not oblige Patrick to ask for a removal or even to communicate with him on the subject.

It basically says "I will create a clever little boundary that I know will never be met so I get my way".

From Sebastian's account, he made it very easy for Patrick to have it taken down. Since it was Patrick who he hurt, he wanted Patrick to have the choice whether it stayed up or down. That seems fair and right to me.
