Sometimes they do that to intentionally try to get around archiving and transparency rules. Other times they do it because they're clueless and/or lazy. Those services don't know that an account belongs to a politician or that they're using it for exempt purposes. Politicians are ALWAYS getting nailed by leaks from various computer-based communication systems that they use. Most of them don't seem to be able to get their heads around how any of this work.
