Ladies, Gentlemen, on the one hand it's good that some people take the tradition seriously, on the other let us not be surprised that in a fallen world the very institutions which nominally foster and nourish the relevant traditions in fact do just the opposite, in this respect at any rate. The LBPS rules are just as nonsensical. If there is anything deliberate about either I would be surprised, it's just inertia and thoughtlessness.
