If it is just them then they should remove it. I use @primal and I like their client a lot, however I think this feature is contributing negatively to the whole ecosystem.

primal isn't a client
They absolutely SHOULD remove it. And I have said so previously in my full review. It was written before user generated follow sets were a thing, so my suggestion was to allow new users to follow topics instead, and have aggressive spam mitigation turned on by default.
These days I would recommend an onboarding flow where a user can input the NIP-05 of someone they know in order to see follow sets from their WoT, and if they don't know anyone on Nostr yet, they can be shown follow sets based on Pagerank of those who created them.
