It's not a matter of "official representation" but of whether your
actions might be skewed in favour of your employer, which is fairly easy
to happen if you depend on them for a living.

Even if you don't do that right now and was never asked to do, it's not
impossible that you may be pressured to so in the future, which is why
the affiliation is important
