Because FC's can sometimes get half a dozen applications a day (and upward) and that's even after weeding out the lazy people who say "fuck this" after seeing there's an application to begin with. Because they want to make sure that out of all those applicants, you're one of the better ones, and you're serious and committed and not applying to their FC on a whim or making it one of your 30 prospects. Because a toxic person joining your FC even only briefly can cause major damage, so FC's want to do as much vetting as possible to try to ensure there's no way this happens--and there's no foolproof way, so they take any and every precaution they find useful.
I see you say you're joking and all, but people don't tend to make these kind of jokes unless they seriously believe in the idea at the heart of it all. One complaint here that's legitimate though is when you're application process is halted for like a week because the people needed are never online. Screw that noise.
