There's nothing wrong with having different sets of rules. It is when FED makes changes for reasons other than
1)increased participation/substitution
2)force play slide
3)malicious contact
4)equipment specifications
that they are likely making changes for the sake of making changes.

OBR work fine the large majority of the time.

This seems to be one of those, "There is no reason for FED to be different than OBR" rules.

Making changes for the sake of making changes...

That's true for OBR, not true for FED -- and I don't know for NCAA (which this was).
I'm not sure why having different rule sets is that big of a deal -- we deal with it in every other sport, too.
