Because in theory it means that it isn't predictable. Its the end goal of the Shayamalan "twist" beyond just that final moment of twisting.
Which, again in theory, can be a great thing. The hero just getting domed by a random bullet during an action scene can dramatically raise the stakes and make the whole thing a lot more tense because it subverts the plot armor we expect.
However, when they use it it means "deliberately leading you on to flip the switch after like we didn't."
At this point, the only subverting my expectations that is possible is if they actually made good content. That'd subvert my expectations real good!
