There is no disparity in the rule. The rule clearly states it is not applicable with runners on base. That's it, pretty straight forward. Been that way for at least 48 years.
To start, it is a stupid play. Other than to put out a stealing runner or to pick-off a runner, throwing to any player other than the pitcher is just dumb. Sort of gives you an idea of how smart the coaches are when it is permitted.
