Batting the entire roster

Why would one ejection cause a forfeit if the team bats everyone? It was my understanding that the rule still allows for a team to lose players up to the point where they drop to eight active players when the ninth is ejected.

That would be through any reason other than ejection. It is clearly stated in 4.1.D.2.a & Exception
