It makes life easier.
Wait a minute here.

Yes, it's THEIR game.
It's THEIR rules.
I am hired to enforce THEIR rules for THEIR game.
THEY pay me to do that.
If THEY don't wamt me to enforce THEIR rules as written, then THEY need to remove the rule from THEIR rule book.

And this sitch would be an example of calling THEIR rules as THEY wrote them. Telling a kid s/he can't speak spanish on the field doesn't compare to this; THEY don't have a rule about speaking other languages.

And if my job was to make MY life easier, then why would I even show up to officiate THEIR game?
