(I remember something in the clause saying it's illegal if there is a traffic control device, ie. traffic light, stop sign which to me indicates it's legal at uncontrolled intersection, but I could be wrong).

If it were illegal then the only u-turn related signs I should ever expect to see are ones telling you where it is legal to do so. By putting up all these stupid no u-turn signs just basically make people think it's legal unless there's a sign telling you it's not.
my guess is that they put those signs in areas where people are frequently u-turning out of convenience, but may be dangerous to do so (view of oncoming traffic obscured)
