These types of messages largely stem from NIST 800-171 (and related standards). Specifically NIST 800-171 has the control "Display a system use notification message with privacy and security notices consistent with applicable CUI [controlled unclassified information] rules before granting access to the system." So it is very common when dealing with companies that are government contractors or subcontractors. 800-171 also sometimes gets used as a security framework even when not dealing with the government so these requirements sometimes end up outside those contexts as well.

From the article: "Brands are required to put Transparency codes on every unit for every SKU that’s enrolled, whether it’s sold on Amazon or through another channel."
Amazon doesn't want companies to use this to prevent third parties from selling their products obtained via other channels through Amazon by claiming they are counterfeit, and so requires all products to contain the code, not just those sold through Amazon.

I like the casual nature of walking through a museum, but I agree with having a faster option. Possibly allow sprinting with shift key or as an alternative allowing double tapping of the wasd keys to run.
