Why do ATC always ask for a reason for a non-emergency diversion?

If we have to divert for a (non-emergency) motive, ATC always ask for a reason. Why is this? Is the reason given logged anywhere? Are some reasons deemed unacceptable?

Most occasions that this has happened to me have been due to passenger request - is this an acceptable explanation?
