For the fifth time in this thread: That is not how this works!

No one becomes your friend on Facebook without your explicit approval.  You have to request someone as a friend, then they confirm "yes, we are friends" - only then is their profile accessible to you.

But there's an additional setting where you can prevent people from even making that friend request at all.  OP is asking why you would use that.

The Jeopardy example is a compelling one.

The answer to your question, OP, appears to be that most people using it do not understand how it works.[/quote]

Yes I think this is the answer. The people using this feature do not understand it and don't understand that unless you actually confirm someone as a friend they cannot see your profile. [/quote]
I wasn't using this feature because I didn't know it exists. I will change the setting now as I don't use FB for social media purposes. I use FB  messenger (you don't need to be FB friends to message). [/quote]

Except if you are not friends they have to go to a special folder to see the messsge-doesn't automatically show up. I have messages I found months after they were sent to me.[/quote]
I don't see a problem with that. I saw some messages months later and those were messages I would ignore anyway. If your preference is FB messenger then I will use it and I wouldknow the check the folder, and, once the conversation started, I can see it in messenger. 
Do you prefer I add you as a friend but hide you from my feed and hide all my feed from you?[/quote]
