Can confirm how surprised they always seem to act. I've always negotiated it away (or very nearly, but acceptably, in one case) as part of the checking that contract of employment matches offer and interview promises.
A few times they've tried to imply I'm the first not to simply blindly sign everything and how difficult this is going to be. I've never once lost a role or ended up having to sign my life away.
Contracting taught me to read every contract, and every clause is negotiable.
