It isn't such a large change as you think.  It leaves almost every aspect
of the game untouched.

It is not an arbitrary limitation.  I believe that it makes sense to
seperate the physical mechanics of the game we are playing from the rules
regulating player behavior.  It also makes it more similar to the real
world, where the physical laws are seperate from rules made by people to
organize themselves.  This seperation is not possible without the
recognition that rules made by parliaments and kings do not apply to the
natural world.  But here we can inflict our will upon the natural world as
well.
