AIUI, it is politically absolutely vital to not give the "god appointed guardians of IR purity" any excuse for saying they are sharing airspace with less capable users, as that would lead to segregation by airspace class, which would destroy the private IR.
But there is already a precedent for a difference: it is the PPL/IR v. CPL/IR. The former is 7 exams; the latter is 14 exams. In the former exams, there are not supposed to be any "professional flying" i.e. jet or FMS related stuff. Yet both have exactly identical private flying privileges.
And obviously a PPL/IR cannot do PT work anyway.
So I don't see a problem.
