Friction on purpose: why subscriptions are strict

Why does HubSpot make email subscriptions so strict? My read: "I think there's a lot of friction on purpose related to subscription types and following rules related to email so that you don't get in the way of your own email deliverability. You don't get in the way of HubSpot's overall deliverability as a platform and there's so much risk that they have to manage."

That's my take, not something HubSpot said. If you build email processes in HubSpot, it helps to know the friction has a reason.
