To stop excessive use by bots. You don't want everyone just scripting and pulling data at insane rates. Also to validate you are in the country as it's paid for by the government you don't want the whole world leeching off it.

They don’t. Why would they. Alot of them are just complete grifters and waiting for that big pay day in the sky after they get acquired by FAAAAAANNNNNGGGG or any number of the subsidiary’s. If your app claims to “revolutionise” something completely mundane and trivial like getting a shower or eating a sandwich and you value it at $5 billion then it’s a load of bollocks.
