Igor,
I think, at least in part, the regulation is intended to make amateur
amplifiers less attractive to users of the Citizen's Radio Service.
Rather than being able to go from 5W to 1000+W with a single, relatively
inexpensive amp, an amp to get from 5W to ~100W is needed in order to
drive the KW amp.. And except for Elecraft, I'm not aware of any other
5->100W amplifiers.
73,
