My interpretation of this rule is that the IRI committee wants to make the biggest show in the playoffs as possible (although not necessarily the most fair). They can get away with this since IRI is not an official FIRST event and the experience of the event in many ways transcends the accolades that come with winning.
However, as you said, the team quality at IRI is so high anyways that it hardly matters compared to, say, a regional or district event.
