Basic marketing.  They don't say, "Use our panels, and ANY other brand 
breaker...".

At $400-$1,000 per panel, and $50-$150 per breaker (add some zeros to 
have a flunky install them), saying anything else is just bad business. 
  Why have a only few dollars, when one can have ALL of the dollars...?

As to what the NEC requires, one must read that- only, not the hyped 
pamphlets at Home Depot, or even forums.

The breakers themselves meet a requirement, and standard.
