The reason it is being eliminated is based on there is only one "legal" way to disengage from the pitcher's plate: to be legal F1 must "step back" to disengage.
On the Fake to 3rd and throw to 1st the disengagement comes illegally by dragging the pivot foot off the front edge of the plate.

It comes because the pitcher has legally faked to third base and stepped to the base as part of the fake.
Quite frankly, this is a solution in search of a problem.
