Probably just to lower the 'supply' on the supply/demand curve for possible things that could embarrass Disney.
The things that go viral on Twitter are not quite controlled by anyone, they're like waves of interest and outrage that build up and quell down.
For example, some utterly random, innocuous thing might, in an instant be considered 'out of bounds'. La Sorbonne's enactment of Greek tragedies with Black and White masks are now facing charges of racism, for example. It's a rhetorical stretch, but so many things are today. It just took the right combination of voices to make it 'a thing'. In one of the pamplets, an actress was wearing black makeup, apparently not part of the performance, but that imagery was the fodder for the virality and verbal arguments (i.e. 'they wear masks not makeup) has less value.
By simply removing the cut and paste, you cut down on the number of casual bloggers, viewers etc. who grab the data and jam it in a tweet or something else.
Obviously, anyone who really wants it can get it, after all it's public.
But I can see why from a PR and legal perspective they did this on purpose, it's not hard to fathom. It also might simply be the choice of the dev. And it's odd that it's a discussion point as well!
