They want the original transcript from the course provider (Sophia, Straighterline, etc) because it includes information like final passing score and whether or not the course/exam was proctored. They likely collect data points based on that info that feeds into their student success calculations to determine whether or not to renew those partnerships. Credly/ACE transcripts do not include that level of detail. I don't think they are trying to make it difficult, they just want more information than the Credly transcript provides for each individual course.
