A polite way of saying "you're honestly terrifying and I'm worried a more direct rejection will cause you to break into my house and murder me in the night."
People on the receiving end of this phrase are expected to simply grow up and take the rejection like reasonable adults instead of whining like small children over the internet.

Person A: I like you.
Person B: I'm sorry, lets just be friends.
Person A: Oh ok. I can't say I'm not disappointed, but I understand that you are under no obligation to love me even if I was kind to you and we share a lot of the same interests, and I also understand that you are not obligated to give me a reason as to why you don't like me. I'll respect your decision because I actually have respect for you, and that respect is not and never was hingent upon whether or not we would have sex.

The absolute horror of having to be friends of someone of the opposite sex instead of having sex with them.
People who use this are in no way patheic losers who only see people of the opposite sex for their value and use to them, to the point where unless that person sees them romantically and sexually attractive, they are useless to them.

Person A: Ugh, Tiffany put me in the friendzone.
Person B: Thats Ok. She seems like a genuinely interesting and fun person.
Person A: But she won't have sex with me.
Person B: But doesn't she have more value than that? Shes an actual human being. Why is it so horrible that she wants to be friends?
Person A: Because since I want to have sex with her, she cant possibly have any value to me outside of that. People can't possibly have relationships just because you like a fellow human being and have respect for them.
Person B: Oh yeah you're right.
