I think the main reason would be that given how mangled poof balls got last year, internal storage of something inflateable would require a few warehouses worth of ringers for every regional.
As for tape, just change the rule so that it is "tape is allowed so long as a single strip of tape only contacts one object". That would prevent teams from using it for any bundling/construction, but would allow many legitemate uses such as labelling, grip, etc. We used masking tape to label all our PWM cables at GTR, and the inspector told us to take them off simply because it was tape.
