A picture of two orange kittens, both squinting and giving “stink eye.” The caption reads “I gave my cats a bath and they've been looking at me like this all day... Should I be scared?”

That very much depends on the cat and the type of coat they have. Some coat types have a tendency to get very compacted and/or matted if they aren't bathed regularly to loosen the shed hair. Some cats are unable to properly self-groom and need regular bathing. Sometimes a cat gets into something really nasty and letting them self-groom could make them very sick.
