The fault lies not with EASA but with whoever misinformed you that abridgement was possible in the first place.
A very large % of pilots I know completed their CPL this way.
Nearly every conversion I know has done - and it's credit is commonplace at many schools, both in the US, the UK, Iceland and Spain and Poland
The ridiculous part is that you can get credit for a full IR conversion on what we (in the UK) used to call the "applied" section i.e holding approaching, but we can't give credit for the CPL BIFM "no applied" section i.e the basic full panel and limited panel section.
There's no sense in that at all!
