As for the notion it's because "Anything that lets you share files could be used to infringe copyright!", I'm pretty sure that's not it; even though a certain reading of the DMCA would support that notion, it's never been taken anywhere near that far in court.

I think it's just a consequence of the whole hide-the-filesystem-lest-users-gaze-into-its-complexity-and-emptiness-and-go-MAD notion.
