There has nothing to do with the quality of screening it is just
about the importance of "premiere" and in this case for UK films.
But as I can guess, your films and not from UK. So you don't have to
worry about it neither point out it's incongruity because there are a
lot of festivals that ask for this... so personally I don't think
there's is incongruity...
A lot of filmmakers choose this option, to put a password for their
on-line previewing
Where were you all these past years?
When we don't agree with terms like this... we don't send our work!
Happy Holidays !!
Cheers
