This can only be done if a post is public, or unlisted, correct? Only those who could see the post anyway would see a fetched post. So, if you want to "withdraw" a quoted post you would just have to have the ability to make it visible to followers only, or make it private. If a post is public anyone can fetch it anyway.

To me, locking your doors or hiding your car in a garage, is like posting to followers only, or privately. posting publicly is leaving your car in a busy public garage, with the doors open. -

I understand the point of view of making it a feature... I don't see why it is considered bad, though, to show a public post via a fetch when there is otherwise no other way implemented to quote a post. If the feature is implemented and a user marks a post as unquotable, then I'd understand it being bad form for a client to circumvent that and allow it to be quoted via a fetch anyway.
