Why would they need that?

To prevent you from bypassing their paywalls by using private tabs.

What browser doesn't use cookies in private tabs? In chrome it's basically treated like an isolated sandbox, but it will still gladly accept cookies.

Safari uses different cookie jars for each private tab. Chrome uses different jars for each private window. (I believe.)

Right, I'm just saying being in a private tab wouldn't prompt a cookie error

Pretty sure that Firefox does the same.
