Many hosters I've dealt with have required this to prevent abuse from someone reading the rDNS and assuming the IP address is related to someone it is not.

I've heard this argument before, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

(Perhaps more annoyingly there is no ability to set reverse DNS for IPv6 the address allocated to a server.)
