They do examine for quality and reject certain scanners.
Let me try another analogy. What about film type? Would you accept that some films show grain before others? What is wrong with an agency specifying fine grain film which they have done for years?
The whole idea might be to act as a limiter. Why employ staff to spend their days reviewing submissions from hundreds of photographers when you can cut the numbers by setting a quality standard based on film/camera type?

I really do not see why this or any other agency are making the camera the deciding factor in this, but seem to be using it as a crude selection device. Perhaps we will soon see libraries saying that film supplied in a digital form must be scanned with only the following film scanners! That might act as a limiter too!
