Bond dissociation energy of ATP

I was under the assumption that the hydrolysis of ATP, in other words the dissociation of ATP into ADP + P was a very favorable reaction with a negative delta G. The breaking of this bond is exergonic and releases energy.

According to a question I've run into, ATP has a positive BDE and the breaking of the bond requires energy as is the case with any catabolic reaction.

Can anyone please tell me why the bonds in between the phosphate groups have a positive BDE and require energy in order...
