Yup. It's just a cliché of modern life. You hear it at train stations: "For security reasons, <anything>". It's the same in medium-size and large companies with "legal". All you need say is "Oh that's required by legal" and no-one applies any rational scrutiny to it because for some reason the "legal" and "security" departments are considered to house minds far superior to those of anyone else.
