There is a huge point if you consider how candidates are screened. In today's job market, employeers get hundreds of resume's. Adding certification criteria is commonly used by non-technical HR departments to weed out "unqualified" candidates.
I am not stating that I think the certs themselves are any guage to an individuals qualifications, but just indicating what they are used for by HR.
A well qualified candiate without a certification may not get the chance to prove themselves in a technical interview.
Its not the best method, but in the case of huge volumes of resumes, I am not sure what a better solution would be.
My current company goes as far as to start weeding process at 4 year degree. Without one, your chances of having your resume presented to a hiring manager are slim.
