Because iCloud is a syncing feature. If you erase a photo from the iPhone it will be erased in iCloud. If you erase a photo from iCloud, it will be erased from your iPhone.

Moving and saving pictures to make more space on iPhone I have read that photos are deleted from iCloud when deleted from your iPhone. Are they deleted from other devices such as a MacBook? How do I make sure they're not?
