It's not off-topic, you even put it in bold at the end of your first post:

Sure, the government are negligent in how they implement many things, but this has been known about for years, yet it's only now that a few people are "suddenly" aware of it.
Why are a few businesses using IR35 as the reason to throw out small consultancies that have >1 permanent employed consultants on their books?
Could be multiple reasons - your customer is lazy and doesn't want the hassle of going through the details for every single contractor who has been on site for the last 10 years to determine whether they are a disguised permie?
Your customer has decided that by having a preferred supplier list they can get bodies on site quicker?
Your customer has looked at the figures and realised that the number of consultants they have working full time, it would be cheaper to genuinely employ a few people?
Who knows why your customer has chosen that route, your first port of call is the customer. Perhaps look at other customers (maybe outside the banking sector) who aren't implementing rules like your customer is.
