Why does Robinhood expect one to maintain cash and securities of 25,000 despite not using their margin feature?

It has been known for platforms to restrict users accounts for trading too often from "unsettled funds," so a good idea would be to use a cash account or something along those lines. Robinhood actually only allows option trading in margined accounts whereas other platforms will allow other strategies in a cash account.
