They’re trying to avoid law enforcement and lawyers at their doors.

Even if you prevail, either can be a very expensive and/or destructive process.

Make no mistake, Reddit’s recent refusal to provide details surrounding users that were discussing piracy is highly unlikely to happen in the fediverse. Admins are going to get hit with a subpoena and comply because they can’t afford not to.
