But that would require caring enough to put the effort into deleting the account.

I'd rather just leave my account unused and taking up space. Then I don't have to visit the site.

It's really easy. On web version, just goto "More" on the left hand nav. Goto Account Settings, at the bottom there's a button that says Deactivate account. After 30 days it'll be deleted if you don't log back in.
