I have no great axe to grind but agree with the perception that this is a somewhat short-sighted approach likely to alienate far more people both casual and serious photographers. I found this article rather informative: -

Interesting article and statement. I note the article appears to date from 2009.

.....which means they've been getting away with it for years. All the more reason to table a motion.
