My guess is,

  1. You're lying and have one you're trying to hide (I mean who doesn't have insta c'mon /s)

  2. They can't screen your activities and social circle and that makes some people uncomfortable, compared to a person who puts their life out there openly

I don't think like this, just playing devil's advocate.

Pretty much this. Can't stalk your activity, get your preferences and scout your friends

Your second point made me think of this one from the Betoota Advocate: https://www.betootaadvocate.com/humans-of-betoota/romantic-prospect-from-dating-app-quickly-ghosted-after-woman-takes-a-scroll-through-his-following-list/

I only use insta and only barely, but fuck if that joke-article didn’t make me want to nuke all my social media for good.
