There is zero security benefit

I assume you don't work in security. The "HRDN" means it's a Hardening rule, and hardening is the action of reducing the attack surface for possible attacks as much as you can, even for the most crazy types, like a normal user or malware having access to download an exploit from exploit-db.com and being able to compile it without being root.
