I've run into this config myself, and the main reason was to force

Are you sure the auditors had a vague notion what a network connection between an app server and a db server does and how it works? Our auditors haven't got a clue, so we just ignore ANY of their recommendations on the subject. They are the kind that "tut-tut" at select access on ALL_TABLES given to PUBLIC. Mostly because they trust blindly the output of "security check" scripts they have been sold by "experts" who hadn't a clue in the first place...
