Yeah I think it's actually because there's not much of a chat interface to ban individuals (aside from group creators/officers, right?) they want to avoid people abusing the fact that getting banned from bnet isn't a big deal (since blizz hasn't monetized sc2 online so there's no rank or money at stake).
I agree it's silly because it's a side effect of other things (having a poor chat channel system, having no way to monetize sc2 multiplayer) but I don't think it has anything to do with the little league analogy.

I wish there was controllable chat channels (ways to ban, op etc - even if it's considered too old school or not necessary because everyone uses skype or irc).
Otherwise I understand the starter editions not being able to spam channels with diablo/wow gold offers...
