Because, as it happens with a lot of apps, the developer teams, product managers or whoever with decision powers are not users of their own applications.

It probably breaks if you go back and it doesn't reload.

The answer is that A/B testing found that reloading the website/app drove more user engagement.

I got in touch with support about this a few years ago.
Their answer: "we'll have a look into it."
...
That was a few years ago.
I uninstalled the app recently because I find it maddening that I can't get notifications about comments on my own posts unless I also accept notifications for 'person X and person Y like such-and-such random post'.
I find it maddening and unjustifiable that these two types of behaviors would be categorized under the same notification toggle. Then I remember LI is now owned by MS, and it makes more sense.
