This is NOT the product of any research, only my personal opinion. Because sport pilot certificates, unlike private, commercial, ATP and CFI certificates have no ratings, that's why there is no limitation.
As previously said, it's because of the way SP works. It takes a period of training and a second CFI ride, and filling out and filing an 8110 to get privileges in other classes of aircraft (such as sea plane, powered parachute, lighter than air, glider, etc) than the one in which the SP originally trained and passed his flight test.

However, it has been around well before the Sport Pilot rule came along. It seems apparent that not all examiners are aware of it. The question I have to ask is how did you performed the slip maneuver that is listed on the practical test. According to the FAA if you cannot perform a slip, then you have not demonstrated all required flight maneuvers. That is the basis for a flight ticket with a restriction. I can copy the current rulings on the topic from the FAA if you have an interest, or you can search the archives on this forum for that discussion. Congratulations!
