Because they are developing software which handles card payments. The
FSA and various other financial organisations get very upset if you
aren't following the rules which you need to abide by if you're
handling sensitive information, financial information and the like.
Very large fines, enforce company closure, jail time, etc.

When you're studying Comp Sci you get all excited about acyclic
graphs, A*, predicate calculus, functional programming and all that
lovely stuff. When you get into the real world and start developing
production code, you realise that most companies don't give a shit
about whether you write Scala or Haskell but they do care very much
about security, especially their clients data.
