For balance, 6 months ago we had to provide a tonne of old bank data to our solicitor explaining any transactions over 5k for the past 5 years on all of our 5+ bank accounts. It was a major ball ache and felt very invasive. I'm not a criminal/drug dealer/always been UK resident and have a very dull and steady job for ref so there should have been no grounds for it.
At the end of the day the solicitor has to prove that youre legit if theyre challenged in the future, its on their head if they hadn't done enough background checking. I wouldn't think into it too much, it probably indicates that you have a good solicitor if anything.
