From what I have seen in working with the government and the web I think that anigbrowl's comment is spot on. Many people use tools that are designed for the web or the desktop in the same way that they used to use tools designed for print. In this case just slapping a black line over it works in print, and it does not occur to many people that don't fully understand the technology they use that it might not be directly analogous.
A significant portion of my day job involves working with people in government that have a mental model of content distribution that was constructed during the era of print. Its a fun challenge to help people adjust those models to make things more efficient / more informative / less dangerous.
