Because that would be a huge contradiction to your argument.
I understand that it isn't that fact that it is a parser that is cheating, it is how you have to use it that makes it cheating, but that can go for anything that could be a potential add-on, but for now, and until they change ToS, because of the way you have to use it, it is considered cheating. You can't break the rules now, because you assume they will change in the future, especially when you are dealing with SE, originally add-ons were supposed to be available at launch, it was pushed back. SE has a horrible track record of saying they will do something and then actually coming through in a timely manner, so until they do, using a parser is cheating, if by nothing else because of the way you have to go about using it, but in the end, cheating is still cheating.
