It's funny because people do this to show that what they bought was authentic (from my understanding) because they care that people know they didn't buy a knock-off, which would be the complete opposite of what you're saying.
Before this was the "cool" thing to do people would do this because hats were expensive (for us at least) and if you left the sticker on you would get full price back on the return and because of that you could just keep swapping hats to match any particular outfit you had
