To me it seems like a sensible piece of advice not to swap tyres between different rims for this reason. Re-mounting a tyre back on the same rim is a lot less risk because at least you are stretching it over the same diameter and not potentially a smaller one.
Everyone knows there are good and bad combinations.

So why isn’t this standard language for every rim manufacturer?

That is the real point.

What makes this an issue for Hunt?

If I were the OP, there is not a chance I would use a used tire with Hunt rims. They obviously know something about their product we don’t know.
