Because the point there is that that they "accepted" a friend request. By default all your information is open to anyone you "accept" as friends. In my opinion that's no less nefarious than using admin password blank for routers when they are manufactured and not requiring you to change the password when you install it.
I've tried poking at my sister's profile because she specifically doesn't want her mother-in-law from getting access to her photos of her children. She specifically denies her that ability at the blocked name level.
This specifically made me and many others, block all my friends from all my information. I specifically put people into various lists of access based on the level of my actual friendship with them.
What is more nefarious and more troubling isn't the expectation of privacy from individual people, but the actual information that is being trawled by companies that people freely give their information and access to their profile. Understand people are doing this willingly to play Mafia Wars and raffles like BigPrize Giveaways. Understand that people are FREELY giving up their privacy to companies every time they use an application within Facebook.
