Just a guess, but probably because "players" are supposed to stay in-bounds by rule(except for noted exceptions), whereas other people such as officials, coaches, cheerleaders, photographers, etc. don't have to be.
What I don't like is that the NFHS put in a new, fairly major interpretation, and then didn't bother to point it out to us. It's not listed in the front of the book(s) or on their site anywhere either, as far as I know. If I hadn't have noticed it surfing the case book, I would have answered it the same as you did. Not the first time that the FED has done this either.
