The thing is, people are very good at checking boxes, and not very good at remembering important things.
So while it may seem inane, plain old checking boxes is almost certainly part of a good strategy for dealing with tedious, repetitive tasks where one error can cause serious issues - and this kind of security is probably one of those.
Obviously, it's not enough, nor an excuse to turn off your brain - but it's a pretty proven behavioral pattern.
