Opinion. Few will buy something if they don’t have full disclosure on the regulatory and financial burden of the entire business so they can understand how much they need on reserve for regulatory and other litigation issues. I know from the buyers I have been sourcing to help.

Is it shady, yep. But everyone walks away in a win/win/win situation, and the company can move forward. No disclosures needed.
