They are not using it but just imagine that company gets acquired by people who do those kind of things.

Contract with company is not contract with current management only. I don't know who will be there in 2 years in charge.

My current company was acquired by a bigger company like a year ago, fast forward one year - even bigger company is now owner of our parent company.

Not to mention that the person making the assurances -- hiring manager, or even worse, recruiter (who may not even be an employee!) -- is not likely the person who makes the decision to enforce the clause.
