To be able to detect robots. Makes sense since most users will move their mouse in a massively different way than default robots. There is also probably some product reason like being able to see if people had their mouse around an ad before clicking it, etc.

If robots can mimic human conversations, this should also be trivial. This not only looks like a lame excuse, but also massively underestimates the ability of automatons that mimic humans.
