I mean, my best guess? Like chaotic neutral, players who "must" play halflings do it because they want to play to type... a very, very annoying type that doesn't make for a fun time at the table... and saying this weeds them out.
Kender, who were similar to halflings and I think are now a variant, were notorious for this. Their schtick is that they "borrow" things from their party members, not understanding that it's theft. It gave assholes license to be assholes under the guise of roleplay, until the table inevitably needs a talk.
