It's certainly down to bad legal advice. Lawyers are trained to take everything they can get. If it turns out that was too much, then they frame it as a bargaining chip, as leverage to at least recover some fraction of what they previously took.

It's sneaky, immoral, unethical and illegal. It also works.

Taking everything one can get is not exclusive to lawyers. Many engineers would rather have more information/data than not enough. Better yet get all the data up front and then decide what you need later.
