Unless you're advocating a change to permit greater use of computers, every device out there is covered by the rule and every device on the horizon is also covered by the rule and is prohibited. A "computer" doesn't just mean a desktop or a laptop computer. Your smartphone is a computer too. A tablet is a computer. An iTouch is a computer. They're all just very small computers. They're all prohibited unless used for statistics only.
"transmission device" pretty much covers about anything that could be used to send or receive information form/to anywhere.
I suppose you could argue that we can't tell whether they are being used for stats or not but no rule change will change that.
Are you saying you think they should loosen the rule to allow computers of some types?
