I'm guessing it could be one or a mix of these:
They want to build a database of people interested in this and vetted by some other organization as worth hiring. Just more people to feed to their recruiters.
To see the output of the work. While academics will credit their data sources, seeing "XXX from YYY" requested, and then later "YYY releases product that could be based on the model" is probably pretty valuable vs wondering which ML it was based on.
A veneer of responsible use, maybe required by their privacy policy or just to avoid backlash about "giving people's data away".
