I believe, unless they've changed it, the actual measurement is not less than 50mm of setback from BB center to the forward most part of the saddle nose. IOW minimum saddle setback of 50mm.
As to the reason. Well, the UCI want to control the aesthetic of cycling and are concerned that if they let people move their saddles closer to the bottom bracket they would rotate their positons around said BB toward looking increasingly like superman. We must all ride like Eddy did. So sayeth the UCI. Amen.
