I interned at one of the big FOs a few years ago and the rough explanation as I remember it was even though you don’t technically have to follow a bunch of regulations as a FO most do anyways as a good faith act for the regulators. They’re going to come knocking eventually for one reason or another, best to already have a positive relationship and history of compliance before then
