LEDs connected to Solenoid Breakout. It's illegal, but why?

From the rules, it is illegal to connect anything but solenoids and the line sensors to the solenoid breakout. We have 3 LED strings, pulling about 300mA a piece. We would love to save some space and connect them to the solenoid breakout board, but guess what...

Quote:
<R60> Solenoid Breakout outputs shall be connected to pneumatic valve solenoids or photoelectric sensors, PN 42EF-D1MNAK-A2, only. No other devices shall be connected to these outputs.
Any reason why custom circuits are not allowed? It's adding unnecessary complication to our already over complicated robot.
