Usually the lender just wants additional documentation that this is indeed going to be your primary residence. Lenders are super cautious these days, and many of them are requiring additional verifications and documentation to do the loan. Just more paper work. Hang in there and be thankful that you are getting the loan in this market!

I had to the same, the reason being is that I owned a home in which is my primary residence and I apply for a  loan for a primary residence.

The bank thought I was buying an income property and wanted to give me a higher rate.  I wrote the letter explaining why I needed a biger home for my growing family and it worked.  I got the loan at a low interest rate.
