Why doesn't disabling the ability for people to follow you also remove all your current followers?
Also, this definitely doesn't show all the followers. My follower count shown on the profile is 4 but the list only shows one account. So even if I block all the accounts in that list and disable the ability for people to follow me, I'll still have followers, which I don't want.

Because it doesn't show followers who were then banned. Which is fun, because if you get harassing followers (which are then banned for said harassment) before you turn off the feature, you get a nice reminder of the harassment by seeing a follower count other than 0, and they partially get to harass you forever!
