So for what reason then do you believe the following rule exists?

To stop house hording and free up more plots. And yet you've just said that even if it doesn't serve that purpose, it should still be followed. You are literally saying a rule should be followed because its a rule. I won't go into all the historical examples of why that's a bad idea, but it is.

That basically destroyed any hope that you're able to be reasoned with, so I'm out.
