Because I don't want Facebook to get my content, nor do I want their content in my feeds. I joined the fediverse to be as far away from corpos (facebook, twitter, youtube) as possible.

Facebook, and literally anyone else, can already get all your content.

It would take all of a second to scrape your user page. Obviously that wouldn't grant your IP address or anything, but neither would federation.
