What is the reasoning for this rule?

  Honestly, I haven't been able to find any good sources for the reasoning. It seems like it emerged as part of Dodd-Frank after the 2008 financial crisis, but almost no one is talking about why specifically the rule was enacted. My best guess is that it might be to help protect users' money from being put at risk by a malicious/incompetent brokerage.
