Strange question. It's obvious that the rules were written by the tournament organizers.

Strange answer. It's obvious that the purpose of the question was the cause-and-effect relationship of this decision.

Still, Timur, you should express your thoughts more carefully. For 2013:

Do you think these players are not of sound mind?
In the OFB there was a vote on templates: 34 out of 80 participants voted for SM-ka. More than a third of the participants - not of sound mind?
In the first round, 13 games were played on SM-ka - more than 30%.
Such words can easily offend players and this is called "indirect insult of users".

If I have "indirectly" insulted anyone, of course I apologize. But I will promote my thoughts regarding SM-ka by all possible means and this is, IMHO, correct; some people don't like Jebus, some are sick of Diamond, etc. - I don't like SM-ka and I consider it my personal right to campaign against playing it.
As for the wonderful players and people you mentioned - did you talk to them about why they played SM-ka? There is another side besides statistics. I think AYMAN won't be too offended if I quote him almost exactly regarding SM-ka: SM-ka is the most imbalanced and random template, but I still like it. So the question should be asked: some people like SM-ka for that reason, but I don't have to love the template for it. Not to mention that even in the "новичок" tournament, people ask to remove SM-ka from the decisive games? Well, this is all lyricism and is not relevant to the matter at all (that's why I put the note about SM-ka in parentheses in the previous post, I don't know why it personally affected you so much).

Regarding color, look, I won twice as red, lost twice as blue - so everything is even and why am I even writing about this here? Should the logic be like this? Statistics don't always reflect the real state of affairs.

And the question remains the same, not even in the sense of "what kind of artist", "what kind of rules", "the organizer is sick", etc. But so that in the future there won't be such rules that limit "fairness".
