Then why doesn't that rule only apply to the last 5 seconds instead of the whole last minute, Mr. Logic Person?

Um, b/c you can't run out the last 5 seconds of the game while you're still in the first minute of the game? Seems like pretty simple logic to me.

And you also can't run out the clock if you're in the first 55 seconds of the
last minute of the game either.....
Which was my point. Now, Mr. Logic/WeaselBoy, again.....why should the rule apply to
ANY other time during the game, rather than very specifically during the last 5 seconds of the game, if time isn't gonna run out during any other time?
