The answer is simple, because someone proposed it and the drivers voted for it at the AGM. The BRCA officials are only there to enforce the rules that the majority of drivers at the AGM voted in. The two sections that don't use the EB lists are the bike and micro sections, both choose to run their own choice of electrics.
The lists started when we used nimh cells and brushed motors, when you would get the motor and battery of the month, when your motor choice was down to which one would last the five minutes without dumping and cheap batteries didn't have the power or duration of race spec cells. Using the lists meant you didn't have to constantly replace your batteries with new ones that performed a little better, which was seen as a good thing and why the rule was voted in.
