Can anyone argue the case for this? Smaller nations rely on talented players deciding to stick with them and this seems to be another hurdle put in front of that.

The Football Stakeholders Committee established a technical working group (TWG) which proposed to....introduce three additional exceptions to the general prohibition on changing association, based on proposals from associations and case law.

On 27 February 2020, the principles underpinning the amendments were endorsed by the Football
Stakeholders Committee. On 25 June 2020, the FIFA Council recommended that the amendments to the Regulations, as presented below, be submitted to the FIFA Congress for approval.
Would be very interesting to see what case law is referred to and which associations were able to put forward proposals.
