I can imagine this job website implemented this criterion to guard against some kind of abuse but I cannot imagine what that abuse might look like or how this prevents it.

A lot of people feel the need to add restrictions for the sake of restrictions. A whole lot of "security" products work the same way, too. They either do that to pretend to others that they are doing something or to pretend to themselves that they are somehow more important because they exert control.
