I'm sure it has to do with Stevie and her team wanting to make sure she had enough writing credits on the album. As we know her output faltered over the years and a lot of her stuff during her rehab years was not particularly worthy. In other words, it was a way of saving face, covering up her lack of (good) productivity. She, supported by her team, was in full "I'm a STAR" mode and not above throwing her weight around to get what she wanted. For her, image was absolutely everything by then.
