"Because it's the rule" no I'm asking why is that the rule at all. Couldn't the rest of the punishment be sufficient in this kind of case? Therefore punishing the GM that made the error but not taking agency away from the player on where to play.

The way I understand it is that it's acting as further deterrence for the GMs to disincentivize malicious hiding of FAs. Things like fines are shown to be ineffective given the gain for the infraction, picks lost punish the entire team, so this was viewed as the only option of sorts
