Cargo cult is an early stage of development, this is evolved to the point of having a logic of its own.
It might just be a matter of boilerplate. The permissions and usernames are (in code, in legalese, etc) may be tied to the concept of a signup. They might have investors, advisors or whatnot asking about weekly registration trends or somesuch. They may have a regulator, and the regulator assumes that you have info.
Even banks are increasingly getting regulator-ish. You may need to produce a "know-your-customer" policy.
Anonymity just isn't done anymore.
