In my experience it's because of slavishly following PCI-DSS standards (and probably other similar things). For example section 5.1 says:

5.1 Deploy anti-virus software on all systems commonly affected by malicious software (particularly personal computers and servers).

Presumably unless the software was explicitly "deployed" (rather than being bundled with Windows), they don't feel like they are complying.
