Why can you sign up for an email list instantly but to unsubscribe it can take up to 10 days? Is there an actual technical reason or is it a sales tactic to try to make you reconsider?

In the USA, the relevant law (CAN-SPAM) requires companies to honor the unsubscribe request within 10 business days. So it is just companies stating that they will comply with that law and giving themselves up to the maximum time allowed to comply with the law. Covers them in case of system or human fuckups.
