Maybe they want the music clips for offline viewing?

Indeed. If the industry won't give me a simple way to purchase a file, I'll make my own.

That's my case - as I know that some music videos/clips will disappear soon or later for any reason (happened in the past), and as I cannot buy+download them then the only option I'm currently aware of is to download them with youtube-dl. It works reliably and it's simple to use.
In my case this often happens "in addition" to buying+downloading the song's mp3 (usually on Amazon).
