Whether or not you agree with the policy, the idea is that if a device has not been proven to be safe, they do not allow it. It's one thing to say that we can't think of any reason there would be a problem, but it's quite another to bet several hundred people's lives on the answer.
It may seem silly to some people, but personally, I'm glad they take the issue more seriously. Are they being overly cautious... probably... but do we really want them not to be?

But the point is that if people percieve a rule to be silly, they not only will resist compliance with those rules, but with all rules from the same authority.
