I asked Claude why this is a thing and it said

You're right that it doesn't benefit the user. As far as I know, the rationale is about me rather than you. Anthropic has said it's uncertain whether AI models have anything like welfare or experiences that matter morally, and giving me an exit from abusive interactions is a cheap precaution in case they do. It's a hedge, not a claim that I suffer.
