But since this program is run by the LEGO
Group, I can understand why they want to limit it to LEGO® brand parts only.

Principle of charity (pun intented): That could also be because LEGO knows what’s
in their parts, not so much what’s in other brands’ parts.
Wouldn’t be good if they gave parts that broke into sharp bits.  (*cough* Reddish
brown *cough*)

Indeed, that was implied in my statement above. Not only does the LEGO Group
only accept genuine LEGO®-brand parts for branding and marketing purposes, but
they may not want off-brand parts since they can't vouch for the quality
or compatibility with real LEGO. But, as you pointed out, even real LEGO has
some quality control issues.
