1. I have felt that there is an implicit social pressure on you to accept friend request from some people. Example:- A colleague who are not really friends with you and don't share the same ideals as you sends you a Friend request. What would one do?
2. I think they introduced the 'Subscribe' feature to address the need for asymmetric sharing.

Accept the friend request, hide all their updates from showing on your news feed, and put them on limited profile view is one possible option.

Setting them to only view your limited profile is one option.
