IMHO...less bodies on the lane = less opportunity for contact (legal or otherwise).

I think the only intent of the rule was to eliminate excess contact on made FTs. The rule does accomplish that purpose. I don't see that the NF was trying to accomplish any other goal.
On the surface, fewer players on the lane appears to be a good idea. But we weren't privy to the discussions, therefore we don't know what the reasoning was that left the rule unchanged.
