For what > reason exists this rule? Main reason is because you might want a list item which consists of multiple paragraphs. A possible alternative would be to require that lists are indented and flag a list item has ended either by a new list item marker or by text which is no longer indented. However, not everyone wants to be forced to indent their lists and like to have the list item start in the '0' column so we need some other way to mark the end and 2 blank lines seems a reasonable compromise. .
