First off I do not BURN anyone, I merely stated my answer to your question but be that as it may.
The beauty of FED is in it's Case Book Analysis.
Reference the following Case Plays in regards to the subject matter at hand.
Check Out FED case plays
3.3.1K thru 3.3.1O
And
8.4.2Q and 8.4.2Y
As far as your question about why is one run allowed to score in one situation vs. another lies in the type of play meaning.
If there is an Intervening play and not a Force Play situation and malicious contact occurs AFTER runner scored then the run counts and player ejected.
In addition to the FED Case book analysis, Carl Childress explains fully in his BRD with additional Case Play analysis.
As to question why, why, why
The FED wanted to penalize Malicious Contact with more then simply an EJ as in the Case of OBR. Unlike the other sports where a Malicious Act is penalized, ie; in football a 15 yard penalty and an automatic first down; Basketball 2 free throws plus the ball, baseball has No penalty other than an EJ. FED wants to penalize.
