My guess is that the problematic element here is the rim bed (I think that's what it's called). It's likely very thin for this application and some inserts would transmit impacts directly to that surface.
But that's just a guess. It's also possible that with the proliferation of inserts there are too many unknowns for Specialized to remove that proviso.
Maybe we need to blame the lawyers? Again.
