It's not that I think it's a bad idea (which I'm still unsure about), it's that I want to know why this is going to be the case.

Chief Delphi is not an official FIRST communications path, so this would better be asked of FIRST officially, assuming you really want an answer.

I'd like to expand this to state that HoF teams are not necessarily better than any other team. In the year of their CCA award they WERE judged best of all teams. But not this year: they are different but not better.
By that I mean they are on an equal footing with any team submitting for RCA. They won't win it with a weak effort. Perhaps "they know what it takes" better than a non-HoF team to win CCA - but really, do you believe that? And if so, is that really an advantage?
Perhaps there ARE bigger fish to fry out there. Me, I see the added competition as healthy. If any HoF teams think they deserve RCA more than
Team X: Bring It On!
Oh, yes, and between now and 20 years from now, someone will come up with something different, no worries.
