Your very own FCC says these restrictions are - in principle - illegal.
I'd suggest that most people don't know /aren't told, how vital a good (ie directional with gain) antenna is and/or don't want to make the effort.
To suggest as Mapleshade do that being directional is a bad thing says it all about their standards in marketing.
That they imply that their rebuilds of a classic tuner / tuner stage in a classic valve receiver are 'Mapleshade special' - hiding that they are carried out for them by a conventional but respected technician - who could give you the same deal direct, is also instructive.
That it is even more important to drive a valve RF stage hard with a directional signal makes their approach even less respectable.
