  Goalposts moved. The original claim was that the compliance was done for malicious reasons to change the law. Another possibility is that lawyers are a cautious bunch and advise their clients to take a less risky option when implementing a legal requirement. From personal experience, I would saw that latter is much more likely and would also explain why government agencies interpret these rules the same way when developing their websites.
