Maybe it depends on the particular checkpoint/country.

The whole "checkpoint friendly bags" thing is a TSA specific phenomenon. Security agencies in other countries have their own standards and do not care about what the TSA accepts (and some would argue that's for good reason).

Because most bags aren't x-ray friendly, and they want to avoid having to rescan bags just because people don't know what they're doing.
