They're completely different cases.

- Follows list exists as part of your own user metadata. The wiping problem happens when a client update the metadata with a blank list because it has not get previously the correct list.

- Followers list doesn't exist as a list per-se. The client builds it up from reading every follows-list from other users metadata, and getting the ones that has your pubkey. That's why it varies quite a lot depending from which relays those users are read.
