It's all a bit like my personal bugbear - the tendency to use 'myself' due to the existential fear of 'me' in business writing. Nobody seems to want to use 'me', and because they're all deathly afraid of misusuing 'I', every personal pronoun is of the 'myself' form. It is ugly, awkward, uneuphonious and just plain wrong.
Ah well....
