They get more interchange from business cards, so they would rather have personal spend on business cards instead of the other way around. As far as compliance goes, the rules are also much less strict on business cards - statement cycle length and all that - so they prefer you on a business card for that as well, but banks are really playing with fire by just taking people's word for it when they say they have a legitimate business and give them a card when it's clear they do not.
