I would guess that was done to free-up names that hadn't been used in a while; in order to minimize the chance of name collisions. I don’t want to intrude into this thread too much (though I’m reading and liking the replies so far!) but I wanted to clarify that those deleted accounts are the result of GDPR compliance. Once the Fandom/Curse deal was announced, the only way that Fandom could access any Curse user data was if those account holders opted in to giving us permission for that. Any account that did not opt in had to be removed.
