A lot of people are complaining about the original rule itself, but as someone who deals with US immigration laws everyday, I can tell you why it is. Immigration law is defined by Congress and there are very clear legislation on how immigrants can be granted visas and citizens. Given that, the executive branch has very little room to maneuver to visa rules. Thus the startup visa rules were written in a way to stay within the context of the original Congressional intent of creating EB visa. Otherwise, it will get challenged in court (which every new visa ruled does, including the H4 visa EAD). I was hoping that with Congressional majorities, Trump can actually create a legal start-up visa akin to what we have in other countries. But I guess that won't happen anymore
