It's not silly.
It's protecting the buyers from frauds.
Parmigiano-Reggiano is made in Emilia Romagna, in the Parma-Reggio (Emilia) area.
That's the only real deal.
Like Champagne which is made only in the Champagne wine region in France.
If it's not from there, it's not the same product.
It might even be better according to personal taste, for example I prefer Franciacorta, which is from Franciacorta region in Lombardy.
But it's not Champagne and can't be named after it.
Can I call my search engine Google and act like I am the real Google?
I guess not...
