I suspect that the rule isn't intended to ban the function of the walkie-talkie, but rather the implementation. FIRST uses multiple sets of radios for communication between volunteers, which I suspect they do not want to be interfered with. Cell phone push-to-talk does not operate in the personal radio frequency range.
