I wouldn't assume that, that's just a bonus for them. All the other platforms do this except Twitch, and it's part of the push to support only big and famous content creators (who, mostly like, have an agent and a media management company that is probably owned by meta in the end).
Twitch would do it if they could. Twitch let's you go live, but they bury your stream under so much crap that no one can find you.
