Because information has value and is very difficult to protect.
Notice how all contractors are being shown NDAs as standard now. This is the replacement for employees having job security for keeping shut about the knowledge they have.
Now, sign an NDA and you secure the knowledge with legal threats and chilling effects. It works.

- brador 11y agoIt's only a cost if you can expend resources to solve the problem, but once the knowledge/information is out you can't put the genie back in the bottle.
