No reason. I copied some code I found elsewhere to accomplish this.
That's just what was there. And it worked.

Agreed, this is a horrible place to put this. However, an SE and I
worked 8 hours through the night (Midnight until 8am), trying to
triage and solve this problem before we stumbled into the customer
environment (bleary eyed), and delivered the demo.

All nodes, and the entire environment, is completely unusable and
unworkable until this is disabled.
