    It limits the amount they have to pay interest on. It's similar to the bank setting a minimum or maximum account balance.

    They also may just not be technically set up for it...

    Maybe there's a thought that someone who transfers-in is likely to understand the transfer process and so more likely to transfer-out than someone depositing cash.

    Of course there are plenty that do allow transfers in.

     Cash ISA accounts - certain providers  (Marcus is one) don't permit transfers in.
