Chord sequences are not subject to copyright.

What else stops people from playing the first 10 seconds from a song? Its just a few chords in a sequence. The reason I've heard people don't do that is that they will get a copyright strike.
I would think maybe this is a 'hack' to avoid bots that scan for copyrighted material?
