IIRC, FED made their change mainly because coaches were teaching fielders to "drop a knee" before receiving a throw on pickoff plays, thus blocking the runner off the bag.

Rather than make a specific exception to their existing OBS ruie, they chose to apply it universally to all plays.

Tim C. may have further insight.
