Many flying schools said it was compulsory a) because it was a great revenue raiser and b) because they could then send you on humungous solo cross countries more than three hours long.
Are you sure many flying schools said that?
It makes it much harder to comply with this requirement with a 3 hour limit!

(3) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(b), the flight time must include 1 flight of at least 150 miles, that includes at least 1 full stop landing at, and at least 1 take‑off from, each of 2 or more aerodromes:
(a) that are not the aerodrome from which the flight commenced; and
(b) that are not within the student pilot area limit of the aerodrome from which the flight commenced.
