Answering honestly: so that shitty people can like shitty things without the consequences. They can broadcast their views without having to answer for them, and down the line it's easier to manipulate likes so Elon can sell likes or remove likes from anything he pleases, which allows twitter to create "public opinion" that won't be in line with actual public opinion.
