The real question is why things like the Developer Tools are given through ADC anyway, they should be more easily accessible.

Monitoring would be my guess. If they know who's downloaded something, they can, for example, automatically initiate a mass contact if a potentially dangerous bug is found.

Monitoring is possible without draconian security, and even so, I'm not sure if that's a true reason, since you get them in the box with OS X (and in /Applications/Installers on new Macs), and Apple Stores reportedly burn them for you if you ask nicely.
