It's not a distraction think of the question as a general: why should service X be allowed something that service Y is not? There are still really good reasons why X != Y (or conditions that would cause seemingly equivalent X and Y to be evaluated differently). Perhaps the FCC needs more education on the subject. But more likely there is absolutely no rational rationale behind this action.
