In those cases it was about risk of impersonation. Plenty of people who weren't "famous" still had enough of an audience that it was profitable for some crypto-hawking spammer to imitate them and try to con their audience.

That basically happened to me. Modest number of followers but enough for the crypto-grifters to spam.
