Probably because there's a not insignificant chance that whoever's on the other end of a slow reply won't give the person the benefit of the doubt otherwise. It's pretty common to see people complaining in discord that so and so took forever to reply in a dom shop/art shop/nest rental, ect. In a perfect world the complaint would come with a caveat of 'but there was adequate notification of expected response time from their bio, and my frustration may be disproportionate to the problem of not being replied to in 30 min'... but that's not what happens.
I don't feel comfortable sharing my details on the site either so if I know in advance that I'm going to be slow to respond for personal reasons I just put 'will be slow to respond'. I fully expect a few people will bitch about the wait time unless I put a reason that they can personally empathize with. (But whatever, I don't care about those people)
