This is my thought. I’m not a person that would normally mark anything private by default because I just don’t hide. That being said… not everyone is as brazen as me. I have friends that are shy, mentally ill, and just want to stay away from PM or DM completely. Most of these three use gifts as a default way to message as they don’t like the pressure of a back and forth DM/PM. Some of them will put kinda personal stuff in the message and do not want that on public spotlight. I’m not by default like that at all (probably also like you are not,) but I also realize it’s a wide world and I don’t need my friends to be like me. I try to meet people where they are at because god knows I have my own issues and most likely way more than them. I’d be a huge hypocrite to ask them accept mine and be unwilling for theirs.
