I think it's a tad ridiculous, but their rationale is that you may change your mind. But aren't those procedures reversible?
There are doctors out there who will perform a TL / Essure on a nulliparous woman. It might take some perseverance to find one, especially if you're young, but they do exist.

Tubals are reversible, but it's invasive surgery (then again, so is the tubal), and the success rate isn't very high. Essure is not reversible.
