Maybe... they want a job and need the money?
Not everybody here at HN seems to realize that negotiation is not always appropriate when your first priority is to get a job.
Thankfully I've never been in that sort of situation, but I've certainly been desperate enough in the past where I would have happily signed if it didn't look like they would be willing to "bend the rules" for me.

Or maybe they just love the job and think that the legal dept is a dick but that does not overshadow their love of the work being done at this company.
