Why don't I have to log-in to this website?

I had an account on experience project years ago, and I noticed it then. There was something unusual about it, but it wasn't bothersome enough to actually make mention of or really pay that much attention to. I haven't used social media much in the past ten years, I don't use it very often for many reasons. Recently I looked for experience project again, and chanced across this website, promoted as an alternative or second experience project. It is still the same, and is unique to any other webpage I've visited. I had had trouble deleting or trying to remove posts on Experience Project, and this being my first post, am confused by how to do things on here as I was then, but this still stands out to me due to the uniqueness of not having to sign in. As I am using a personal computer and not an app on a phone, Instagram for instance does not require you to sign in every time, or at least didn't ten years ago it becomes extremely unsettling, to say the least. Is this just my lack of familiarity due to not using things like this or is it just as unique as the first experience?

@deadgerbil what does ffs mean? And it doesnt ramble. it tells a story which is what ep was if i remember correctly. all of the information is relevant or helps explain why im asking what seems to me, the poster, a ridiculous question in the first place. I am not familiar with other websites not logging me out when i close the browser window or perhaps shut off my computer.

I'm curious. If you're using a using a personal computer, why is it extremely unsettling that you don't have to log in?
