Why are special characters still part of password requirements?

Post Body
I know that NIST etc have moved away from suggesting companies add weird password requirements (one uppercase letter, three special characters, one prime number, no more than two vowels in a row) in favor of better ideas like passphrases. I still see these annoying rules everywhere so there must be certifications that require them for compliance. Does anyone know what they are?
