I have asked various people at ARRL why  it exists, and have never received an answer.

Jim,
Interestingly, a couple of years ago, we were polled by the ARRL for our opinions on several vhf contest rules issues.  I started one of my comments with a phrase similar to what you said above...

"Now would be a good time to go rule-by-rule and ask "why?" so as to avoid layering more rules and beurocracy on top of unecessary other rules and beurocracy."  It is something that I do professionally with my staff yearly.  It results in continuous improvement.

I suspect that the ARRL suffers from organizational momentum taking them in other directions and lack of staff-time more than anything else.  I can't blame them.
