It is, as foxhound has said, because their computerised system required it.

It was probably suggested by some head office pen pusher that an address "would be nice" and then "shit happened."

The same thing occurred when I was with them and they fiddled their system to check spray applicator licences for dangerous agricultural chemicals.

Yeah if they wanted to send me junk mail they could have my e mail address, It wasn't the salesman's fault it was the system that wouldn't proceed with the sale. If I had a PO Box I would have given him that.
