I suppose that it helps ensure a uniform quality of service, although
more to the point I think it means that they don't believe that their
support people are good enough to answer questions on their own. For
instance, let's say you'd outsourced your support to a third party which
was very cheap, but you have doubts as to their ability. In such a case
it might make sense to force the use of templated answers so as to
replace an embarrassing shoddy chaos of customer support with a mere
soul-crushing bureaucracy.
