It's just the whole "must exactly match government id" requirement, and the Canadian passport doesn't differentiate between your first name and any middle names, so it just raises unnecessary confusion/anxiety. Especially when if it has to match, why is one field listed as optional?
Now, if the whole purpose is to avoid mistaking your from somebody on a DNF list with a same name, I am probably not at risk of that, but there was a story that made the news a few years ago about some people being denied board on a WOW flight to Iceland because they omitted their middle names from reservations. There is some controversy around that though.
I did check a bunch of old stuff airline reservations, and it seems like I was inconsistent at best with what names I entered for family trips.
