To prevent customers accidentally (or maliciously) DHCP service providing to or using from other customers, also known as [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogue_DHCP]].

Having said that, you still have not convinced me that this is a real world problem. See my initial reply. I have literally never seen any malicious traffic on UDP port 68. I have been monitoring this port since I first switched my ISP provided router to bridge mode sometime in 2007 and used a Linux box as router/firewall. Either I'm the luckiest man in the universe, or this traffic is filtered out routinely by the half dozen or so ISPs I went through since then.
