Why are they asking where I accepted for SA?

Recently accepted an offer for MM SA, but I'm still getting emails inviting me to interview processes for smaller boutiques that I shotgunned out resumes to. 

I was slow to respond to a couple of them and one boutique was very persistent. They triple emailed me and called my phone to schedule a first round. I emailed them saying I accepted another offer. They responded very nicely and said they'd love to keep in touch for other opportunities, but they also asked where I accepted.

I was wondering if this is normal for other banks to ask where you accepted your offer and if there's any benefit to telling them?
