In general, trying to compare sports is a mistake. Remember that "FED" is a committee of committees. There is no expectation of consistency across every sport, except at the most abstract level (every sport emphasizes "safety," for example, but that means something very different in volleyball and football).

The rules committees for different sports do not get together and consult about whether everyone who leaves the bench during a fight is ejected.
