If you enter the USA with a candybar phone and the agent asks you to show them your social media feeds (because they know your name and have already cross-referenced that)... what do you do then?
If you had reason to suspect an unfriendly reception, then you should have avoided the USA entirely.
The use case is discouraging low-effort/low-priority digging for information. Asking to see your feeds costs them zero. Digging in deeper or detaining you would consume actual time & effort.
