I believe one of the major reasons to require this release of information is so that you can check the accuracy and make sure things like you credit rating is not destroyed because of someone with a similar name or some other inaccuracy causing you unfair treatment. Even though companies may be legally required to share such information they are not necessarily required to provide it as a convenient "export" but it may be in their own interest to provide web bases services just as it is beneficial in other parts of their business. without legal pressure to share such information they are less likely to release it at all. the local legal situation doesn’t help
