It's fair, under all codes. I'm not sure I understand your point.

This rule, that if the ball lands beyond that line, "it's Fair", seems like a way to give players who can't hit the ball hard enough to get it through the infield a chance to get a base hit (exaggeration).

It seems to me to be an attempt to define "beyond first or third". That phrase isn't defined in OBR. I'm just guessing that some arguemnet came up in a FED game and this is the definition they chose. You might disagree with the choice, but at least it's clear.
