The rules for brushless motor were not written by Roar on a blank sheet. They were written using suggestions from brushless motor manufacturers. It was long time ago and there were few manufacturers interested in the market, which is why the rules suited one manufacturer very well.
Do not forget by that time there was allready a big market for brushless motors. By that time they were sensorless allready...in model airplanes. Model airplanes use a lot of different sizes of motors. 1/10 cars use one size of those motors, so every maker allways had a motor the same size as cars use.
"Unknown" makers like Hacker, Kontronik, ElectronicModel, just to name a few, had by that time motors for 1:10 cars. The "problem" was those motors had by that time twice the power of the "known" makers. Perhaps now you understand why the rules where written that way...it was not a problem of nobody wanted to come in, was a problem of not letting others to come in.
