For me, as a customer is more like - why do you need to know so much info? Is it even necessary?
And from what I've learned and playing around, this ecash was supposed to be more private and more accessible for new users, not sure it would be a nice start if ppl come and then required all sorts of information to start.
On the other hand, I didn't build cashu. The people who did have every right to build it however they like. And they probably have more insight into what their customers want than I do.
indeed, just trying to understand the whys.
