It was most likely a Marketing/management decision, just a checkbox to fill to show people they "care".
Or one of the many, many people involved with development suggested it because it applied to them or someone they knew and the decision was made to include it out of respect for the people involved.
Or, maybe, inclusivity is never a bad thing, regardless of your personal level of cynicism. Hate the world all you want, but there are people out there that appreciate and deserve things like this.
Ahh the old "they did the right thing for the wrong reason" argument. Maybe, just maybe, somebody at the company did actually care?
