I think it's because there aren't enough umpires to go around. Sometimes, we can't cover all the games, so in SP, they may have to umpire their own on occasion. And most of those aren't good enough to judge when a runner left early. I'm guessing that's how this house rule got started, but now people think it's the official rule.
