Yes, the rule is kind of pointless but nobody said that life is fair. Money talks, and I'm sure that when the rule was drafted, the big aviation universities lobbied big time to get those exceptions added.
Not much you can do about it.
My favorite ironic detail of this whole new rule is that someone such as myself can go teach at the likes of Embry Riddle but not qualify for the 1000hr reduced minimums, yet those who I am teaching/instructing will qualify for those reduced mins.
