To my understanding, that is not why those rules are in place. Certain venues disallow outside food items because they have contracts with various companies, and those companies want exlusive claim to your wallet. That is, they get more money if you have to buy from them than if you can bring in your own food. They can also charge more if they do that.

Now, however much you dislike it (and I know I do!), they have a right to do it.
