Who knows, maybe there's a whole group of people who view imaginary friends as status symbols more than anything else. This could lead to places like Foster's intervening and removing imaginary friends who aren't recieving proper treatment. That leads to another point. Does Foster's as an agency have any real authority when it comes to Imaginary Friends?
We know that they rescued food based Imaginary Friends from a fat camp. How would Madam Foster, Frankie or Herrimen go about removing an IF from a neglectful situation? Could they just swoop in and remove the friend, like a rescue mission? Or would they have to go some type of legal channels?
For that matter, is there some kind of government agency that regulates imaginary friends and their treatment? We've seen that when a child becomes too old for their friend, it's not uncommon to just drop them onto the street. Heck, in Good Wilt Hunting it appeared the basketball IFs actually lived in the alley.
I wonder how well IFs could survive on the streets or even in the wild. We've seen that Coco lived by herself, comfortably on a desserted island for presumably years. But then Coco had a natural advantage with her eggs. Who knows, some abandoned friends might even go feral, the way pet cats and dogs can, when they're abandoned.
