Robert Niles at Online Journalism Review posted a couple of good reasons why it might make sense for Facebook to make completely removing a profile a more difficult process than just hitting a button:

Here’s a scenario: You require readers to register in order to contact other registrants through the site. Someone registers, spams selected readers with who-know-what abuse, then immediately deletes his or her membership. It’s the online equivalent of a drive-by shooting.

Definitely worth a read.
